In Turkish pop music, Tarkan (Tarkan Tevetoglu) is known as the “King of Pop,” and he is famous not only in his homeland but also worldwide. He was born in 1972 in Germany but grew up in Turkey from an early age.
In 2016, he married psychologist and beauty specialist Pınar Dilek. In 2018, their daughter Liya was born. In interviews, Tarkan emphasizes that his daughter is the greatest happiness in his life. Despite the buzz around the stage, he tries to devote much time to his family.
Tarkan’s rise to stardom began in the 1990s with the song “Şımarık” (which means “spoiled” in Uzbek). This track made him internationally recognized.
His hits such as “Kuzu Kuzu,” “Dudu,” and “Hüp” have resonated with millions of listeners for many years. Beyond music, Tarkan is also admired for his charity work and environmental protection initiatives.
In Uzbekistan, Tarkan’s songs are equally beloved. In the 2000s, when he came for a concert, thousands of fans gathered to see him. This reflects the warm connection between Turkish music and Uzbek listeners.
Even today, Tarkan continues to be one of the most popular artists thanks to his modern songs and unmatched stage charisma.
