Born in the late disco age ‘79, As a high school student his
musical and lifestyle tastes were changing. His Seattle
style grunge taste, lead him to put up a band together and
called themselves Juice. He started to sing in local rock
clubs in his home town Ankara. By the time, they got more
popular. They were putting up 4 shows in a week in different
clubs. He managed to get a scholarship from Bilkent
University Graphic Design Faculty. 4 years he studied days
and sang at nights. He got into several different bands
untill he got together with his friends to perform his songs
live on stage. They called themselves PORSELEN. As Porselen
they played several shows untill Beduk decided to walk alone
as a singer- songwriter in Istanbul. He got a daytime job as
an art-director in a well known advertising agency. By the
time, he got signed as an artist with Irem Records. In 2004,
he released his first album called “Serhat - Nefes Almak
Zor” It was more of a pop-rock album all produced by himself
with the help of the record company. His full name is Serhat
Beduk. You can easily hear the rock band influences from his
past in that album. It was the first level for him to catch
his own sound. Plus Turkey’s music market needs lead him to
a different sound than he really wants. But still, he and a
little crowd think that it’s a great album. That first album
made him understand that “in real life” music is not just
music. There are lots of variables and obstacles to came on
your way going on the right direction in your music. Getting
bored of the “music biz” he decided to run his own record
company called “Audiology Records”. Audiology is a medical
science that deals with the quality of hearing. (It’s
obvious why he picked that name) with a motto of “fine music
for fine people with fine people” he immediately started to
work in his own studio for the next album. He did all the
vocals, back vocals, recording, mixing, producing,
arrengement, remixing; played all the instruments you can
hear, art directed his photo shoot, designed his website and
the leaflet of the album. It’s an actual “ONE MAN SHOW”
while the recordings were going on, he sent one of his trax
to “Miller Music Factory” and awarded as the best dance
music producer with the project name of SISTAMATIK and the
track “Like Tomorrow Will Never Come” which you can find in
the 3rd track of his latest album “EVEN BETTER” His musical
taste lead him to more of a dance floor type of music. He
professionally mixed all of his musical background into this
catchy, strong, outstanding, easygoing dance album including
9 English, 4 Turkish and 2 Remix trax. Enjoy the ride... God
knows what will happen next... ABOUT THE ALBUM With his
memorable songs, powerful and entertaining melodies, Bedük
emerged as a hero of the electronic music scene which has
rapidly been hypnotizing the country, thanks to his alluring
sound which combines funk, disco and house. Winning the top
prize in the dance category for his song “Like Tomorrow Will
Never Come” at the 2006 Miller Music Factory awards, Bedük
proved that he was in a class above the rest. Bedük followed
this success by putting out his album Even Better on his own
label, Audiology Records. The lead single “My Woman”, off of
the album which has received rave reviews from the critics,
has been in regular rotation on music television channels in
Turkey for the past few months. Bedük is much more than a
one-man show, the complete 5-piece band will be performing
at Rock’n Coke for what is sure to be a loud and proud
example of the great music being made in Turkey today. ref:
