Life and career
1981–2010: Early life and career beginnings
Simge Sağın was born on 8 August 1981 in
She gained her first professional experience in Zeynep Dizdar's orchestra. Later, she worked as a backing vocalist for many musicians, including Gülşen, Yaşar, and Serdar Ortaç.[7] She then started to perform on her own at a few places.[8] She made a duet with Kıraç for the TV series Annem, which debuted in 2007. The song "Annem (Mommy)" was among the 20 most listened songs on digital platforms in 2010.[9][10] She also contributed to the work of many screen credits and soundtracks for TV series, such as Son Bahar (2008).[6] Later, she worked as a backing vocalist on various albums, including Demet Akalın's Zirve (2010) and Gülşen's Ama Bir Farkla (2007).[11][12] While working for Serdar Ortaç, Simge met Erdem Kınay who was quoted to have said that he would help her produce her own album.[13]
2011–15: Yeni Çıktı and "Miş Miş"
After working for a year with Erdem Kınay, Simge's first EP Yeni Çıktı was released in March 2011 by Kaya Müzik.[13][14] The album's lead single "Ödeme Vakti" was released at the same time with an accompanying music video, followed by another video for the song "Başı Dertte". In order to promote her work, Simge made appearances on programs such as Beyaz Show, Disko Kralı and Hakan Bey.[15][16][17] In March 2012, she won the Best Newcomer Artist award at the 2nd Pal FM Awards.[18] Yeni Çıktı did not bring the success that Simge had expected and later in her career she described that failure in a statement saying that it had failed due to "inconvenient publicity".[19] Naim Dilmener of Hürriyet described Simge's debut in her article, stating "Kaya [Production] didn't make any effort to introduce the young singer, and that good-voiced teenage singer couldn't make her voice heard as much as she needed to."[20]
After making her debut Simge continued to perform on her own, and in 2013 she signed seasonal contracts to perform weekly in Eskişehir and İzmir.[21][22] To continue her work, she signed a new contract with Doğan Music Company and released the single "Bip Bip" in September 2014.[23] "Bip Bip" made more success than the songs she had released three years prior and made her known in the music market, and in Simge's words, returned a "forgotten singer" to life.[24][25] For the song's music video, directed by Nihat Odabaşı, Simge spent a significant amount of money, leaving her with a ₺30,000 balance on her credit card, which she continued to pay back for a period of time.[26]
Simge continued her career with releasing a
2016–present: "Yankı" and Ben Bazen
Following the release of "Miş Miş", Simge's career continued with single songs for two years. In January 2016, she released her second single "Yankı", which reached up to number 2 on the official lists and was praised by critics.
In January 2017, she released the single "Prens & Prenses".

In June 2018, her first studio album Ben Bazen was released. The song "Üzülmedin mi?" from the album had been released as a promotional single back in December 2017, and its music video was made as a final sequel to the story shown in the music videos for "Prens & Prenses" and "Yankı".[52] During the preparation process of the album, which lasted over a period of four years, Simge worked with names like Alper Narman, Ersay Üner, Onurr, and Sezen Aksu. Music critics praised the musical diversity in the album and pointed out that this success emerged due to a successful team work. The song that gives the album its name, peaked at number three in Turkey, and a music video was released for it three days after the album's release. Another music video was later released for the song "Öpücem", which eventually ranked first on Turkey's official music chart.[53] According to Telifmetre, Simge was the second female artist with the most number of streams on radio and television in 2018.[54] In the same year, she received a nomination for the Best Pop Music Female Artist award at the Golden Butterfly Awards.[55] Ben Bazen's fourth music video, "Aşkın Olayım" (Onurr), was released in February 2019, followed by the music video for "Yalnız Başına" in October 2019.[56][57] In 2019, Simge was among the artists who were featured on Ozan Doğulu's album 130 Bpm Kreşendo and performed the song "Ne Zamandır", written and composed by Ersay Üner. A music video for this song was later released in February 2019. Mayk Şişman from Milliyet believed that the song had "the taste of Gülşen's songs. Dolorous, cool, but also modern".[58] In August 2019, Simge's single "As Bayrakları" was released by Doğan Music Company. The song, which was written by Onurr and composed by Onnur and Simge herself, was released together with a music video directed by Seçkin Süngüç.[59][60] In October 2019, another music video from Ben Bazen was released. The video, made for the song "Yalnız Başına", was recorded in New York City.[57] The album's four final music videos "Pes Etme", "Ram Ta Tam", "İster İnan İster İnanma" and "Gülümseyişinle Uyandım" were released together on 25 February 2020. They all featured monochromatic colors in the background and were directed by Seçkin Süngüç.[61]
