Nilipek. is a Berlin-based Turkish singer-songwriter whose delicate yet powerful sound has shaped the landscape of Turkish alternative music for nearly a decade.

Her debut album, Sabah (2015), was hailed as one of the year’s finest, marking the arrival of a unique voice in the indie scene. Since then, Nilipek. has continuously evolved, exploring new textures and sonic landscapes. Her follow-up albums, Döngü (2017) and Mektuplar (2020), embraced a shift toward a richer, more layered sound, blending introspective storytelling with bold, experimental arrangements. Her striking reinterpretations of Turkish songs, further cemented her reputation for reimagining familiar songs in unexpected ways.

Now, with the release of her long-awaited fourth album, Uydurduğumuz Oyunlarla (“The Games We Made Up”) in May 2024, she delivers her most intricate and emotionally resonant work yet. Weaving poetic Turkish lyrics with cinematic arrangements and haunting melodies, the album is a testament to her ever-evolving artistry.

Making her U.S. debut, Nilipek. is set to take the stage at the SXSW Official Showcase, bringing her mesmerizing sound to new audiences.
