Timeline

1945

However, even though she competed in the national finals for the competition three times, with Küçük Bir Aşk Masalı (A Little Love Tale) as a duet with Özdemir Erdoğan, "Heyamola" which was performed as a trio with Coşkun Demir and Ali Kocatepe, and 1945 which was a solo performance, she did not get the chance to represent Turkey abroad.

It was to be left to her pupil, Sertab Erener, to win the Eurovision and realise Aksu's dream to push her musical vision further into Europe.

In the 80's, Aksu had a relationship with Turkish-Armenian producer Onno Tunç that was both romantic and professional.

As a couple they put their signatures to works that broke new ground in Turkish pop music, such as Sen Ağlama, Git, Sezen Aksu'88 and Sezen Aksu Söylüyor.

Her music matured in the 90's, when she co-produced her best selling album to-date Gülümse with Tunç.

The A-1 track from the album called Hadi Bakalım was a hit in Turkey and Europe, and was published as a single in Germany.

It was to be later rediscovered in Europop by singer Loona as Rhythm of the Night.

She also began to produce albums for her vocalists, notably producing Aşkın Nur Yengi's debut album Sevgiliye (To a Lover) again with Tunç.

She was to repeat her success as a teacher with artists Sertab Erener and Levent Yüksel.
