Begum Polat

Begum Polat is a Turkish singer, influencer, and content creator who has been active since 2015. Born in Ankara on April 30, 1994, she grew up as the eldest child in a family with roots in Kırşehir and Ordu. Her music talent was spotted early by a primary school teacher, and she went on to win awards in singing competitions during her school years. She was accepted to prestigious conservatory programs, but financial constraints led her to study at Gazi University, where she graduated with honors. She also completed music training at TRT Ankara Radio, working in both polyphonic and Turkish classical music departments over twelve years. Her early career included a notable award at the Turkey Youth Awards Ceremony for her song "Susardın," which she wrote and composed herself. However, the music industry's monopolies posed challenges, and she briefly shifted to acting, earning a scholarship at the Sadri Alışık Culture Center and appearing in the film 'Koyver Gitsin' in 2018. Later, social media, especially TikTok, opened new doors, and she gained a large following during the pandemic. Today she has a strong presence on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube. She is known for her pop-trap cover of Neşet Ertaş's "Doyulur Mu?" and is now focusing on her own compositions, with a project titled "Kahpe." She describes herself as a storyteller, expressing personal experiences through her music. Begum Polat has an average build, stands 5'6", and has brown hair and hazel eyes.
