Early life

Coşkun was born on 17 June 1985 in Istanbul. Her family originates from Erzincan. She was raised in an artistic family and was exposed to music from her childhood. Her father played wind instruments. She attended Firuza primary school, Kocataş Barbaros secondary school, and a high school in Sarıyer. According to her interview with Önce Vatan Gazetesi, Coşkun played in school bands throughout her education. She studied business administration at Atatürk University on the insistence of her family. After one year working in a private bank as an accountant, she became angry with her boss, and wrote several songs, ultimately leaving her job for songwriting and singing. She took some lessons on how to play guitar and piano as well as dancing and singing.[1][2]

For Iranian audience

In 2019, Coşkun played the character Nazan in Motreb, the highest-grossing Iranian movie ever, becoming famous there.[7] She learned Persian for her role in two months and wrote two songs for the movie as well.[2] At first, Meryem Uzerli was considered for this role, but finally Coşkun was selected because Uzerli could not speak Persian. Being interested in Persian since childhood, Coşkun spoke it with her Iranian friends day and night for two weeks to develop a better command of the language.[7] In 2021, she played Ayla in the third season of Made in Iran.[8]

Coşkun performed a Turkish cover of "Behet Ghol Midam", the most viewed Iranian music video on YouTube, by Mohsen Yeganeh, who was the producer of the Turkish work as well.[9][10] She also released "In Sedây-e Man-e", the closing credits soundtrack of Motreb, a duet with Parviz Parastui, whose Turkish lyrics she wrote.[10]

Apart from her native Turkish, she can sing in Persian, Spanish, and Greek.[11][1] Her clothing style has attracted the attention of people interested in fashion in Iran.[12][13]
