Meric YurdatapanMeriç Yurdatapan was born and raised in Istanbul, the daughter of the well-known composer and songwriter Sanar Yurdapan. She came to Germany at the age of eighteen to study architecture in Karlsruhe.
However, she realized that music and singing were her true vocation. So she switched her studies and attended the Badische Conservatorium from which she graduated with a degree in classical vocal training. She then continued her studies in Mainz at the Johannes Gutenberg Universität, graduating with a degree in the jazz department.
Her oriental roots, her studies and working together with many European musicians have shaped Meric's vocal abilities - and it enables her to blend the different music styles harmoniously and thus create a unique music of her very own.
