She has been known as one of the most successful and powerful singers in Turkey. Rise to success & marriage Sibel first rose to fame as she started off as a professional belly-dancer hired by Fahrettin Aslan, to perform at the Maksim Casino. Dancing was not the only activity she engaged in during her time at work, she had also been known to sing and so she would eventually shift her career direction into singing instead. Her first stage performance came at the age of 18, when she began singing songs from her first album, which had been produced by the help of Orhan Gencebay. These first stepping stones into the music industry would eventually make her be one of Turkey's most famous Arabesque artists. The achievements to her music would cause her to be a successful artist within this genre, as her voice has also become well familiar for Turks of all generations. Sibel is currently married to Sulhi Aksüt. They married on 24 March 2000. Together they have one child. Her first marriage was to famous actor Hakan Ural, from 28 September 1988 until 18 February 1999. They have three children. Padişah & Çakmak Çakmak Sibel's peak at success came with song called, "Padişah" (Ruler) which was released in 1997. The song managed to earn her a lot of awards, as it was one of the most requested singles on Turkish radio and TV stations. In addition to that, the song found itself being played at a lot of Turkish TV Shows, soap operas and commercials as well. The following singles have seen their success, but none managed to match those that she'd achieve with "Padişah". In June 2007, Sibel released, "Çakmak Çakmak" (Pyro, Pyro) as the first single off from her latest album called, "Akşam Sefası" (Evening Delight). The song saw instant success as it was written and composed by Tarkan. In addition to this, a duet version of the same song was also released by the two artists before the song's actual release date. This caused the song to surface all over the internet before the artists would have liked it to have been released. Regardless, the song has managed to peak to the top of all sorts of charts and was one of the most played summer hits in Turkey. 更多>>
