Meyra

Hümeyra Toparlak, stage name Meyra, was born on March 20, 1978 in Istanbul. At a young age, his vocal talent caught the eye of the well-known composer Avni Anıl, and when he was only ten years old, he enrolled in Istanbul Technical University Turkish Music State Conservatory and completed an intensive academic program that lasted eight years.

The young singer, who provided vocal support to various artists during her high school years, released her first album, "Bana Gel", under the pseudonym "Hümeyra", from Peker Music Productions, in 1993, at the age of 15.

The song "Only When I Breath" by the artist, who collaborates with American musicians and produces English songs, attracted the attention of Arif Mardin and was later included in his third album.
