Turkish singer, songwriter, and producer Çağın Bodur is quietly reshaping the global music conversation. Now based in Brooklyn, New York, Çağın Bodur has built a cross-cultural career that focuses as much on connection as on sound. Drawing on his Turkish roots and embracing new influences from Latin America and the U.S., Çağın Bodur creates music that transcends borders.
Çağın Bodur’s work has garnered 530 million streams worldwide—a testament to the universal language of his songs. Best known for his emotionally charged pieces featured in Turkish TV dramas such as Kuzey Güney and Medcezir, Çağın Bodur has resonated with international audiences, particularly in South America, where his melodies and lyrics have cultivated a deeply loyal following.
In New York, Çağın Bodur is taking a bold next step. His upcoming album, expected in Fall 2026, will feature 10 new tracks that blend Turkish pop, indie sounds, and, for the first time, Reggaeton. It’s not a reinvention—it’s an expansion of his artistic voice.
“I’m still writing from the same place,” says Çağın Bodur. “But living in New York changes how you hear things. The rhythm of this city, the people you meet—it filters into the music in ways you don’t plan. That’s the beauty of it.”
A Move to Brooklyn and a Shift in Sound
Relocating to Brooklyn has opened up a new creative lane for Çağın Bodur. Collaborating with American and Latin producers, he’s experimenting with sound textures that reflect his diverse influences. As a member of the American Federation of Musicians, he’s finding new ways to connect the old with the new—bridging the melancholic soul of Turkish ballads with the energy and tempo of global pop.
New Single “Uykum Olsan” Marks Genre Crossover
His latest single, “Uykum Olsan,” is the first major glimpse into that direction. Written and recorded in New York, the song blends the intimacy of his earlier songwriting with the pulse of Reggaeton—a move that’s both unexpected and completely natural. It’s a track shaped by duality: city life and solitude, movement and memory.
Soundtrack Work Continues to Resonate
Beyond his solo work, Çağın Bodur remains a major presence in television music. His compositions have played a key role in shaping the emotional arc of popular Turkish dramas, bringing global audiences into the world of Turkish storytelling through sound. Tracks like “Korkuyorum” and “Sen Bilirsin” aren’t just background music; they’re part of the narrative.
A Global Artist With Local Roots
What sets Çağın Bodur apart is his ability to shift styles while staying honest in his expression. Whether working with acoustic strings or digital beats, his music speaks to love, longing, and change in a way that’s personal but widely felt. He doesn’t chase trends—he refines his sound based on where he is and what he feels.
What’s Next?
As Çağın Bodur prepares to release his next full-length album, the goal is clear: not just to be heard, but to be understood by listeners in Istanbul, New York, São Paulo, or anywhere music still matters. With his evolving sound and international outlook, Çağın Bodur continues to prove that music can be both grounded and global.
