Hi,
I am Ilker Ozalp from Istanbul/Turkey and i play bass for over 25 years now.
Throughout my career as a bassist I have played in numerous musical projects in a wide range of styles, covering Top40, musicals, pop, rock, funk, folk, ethnic, straight-ahead jazz, jazz fusion, electronic music.
I have recorded for a number of artists in a variety of genres and i have also produced an album for a singer (Yol by Sibel Gursoy, 2011)
Currently, i am playing for Turkish Pop-Diva Nilüfer and continuing my work on pieces for my own project, which will hopefully result in an album.
