Gigue Production presents: JABBAR live in London.

After an almost sold-out show last year, Jabbar returns to meet his audience at Colours Hoxton on 9 May. Blending emotional depth with electronic and funky textures, expect an intense, genre-bending live set from one of Turkey’s most distinctive voices.

Who is Jabbar?

Jabbar started his music career in Izmir, where he was born and raised. Between 1996 and 2000, while he was studying at Ege University, he participated in projects in different genres including Brit Pop, Classic Rock, Reggae and Hip Hop with his voice and guitar. In the early 2000s, he became attached to Marmaris, where he went to make music, and settled here. The opportunity to reach audiences from different nations in Marmaris was an important step in taking his view of music to a more universal dimension.

He had the opportunity to work professionally in different positions in the tourism and maritime sectors. But music has always been at the center of his life. After interpreting the songs of other music organizations for many years, the musician started to record the ideas he had written but could not record in his home studio in 2009. Around the same time, his love of the sea and sailing took him to the Caribbean.

Each stop opened new windows to his view of music. In 2016, he crossed paths with Deeperise. Together they arranged the song “Raf”, for which he wrote the lyrics and music. This project became a resounding work for the duo. In the following period, Jabbar released his first solo album titled “Yineleme”. The album, which included songs such as “Cesaretsizce Olmuyor”, received great acclaim from the audience.

Along with the solo albums, they continued to work with Deeperise and continued to write songs that have become legendary. “Geçmiş Değişmez“, “Unuttum Derdimi” are a few of them. Jabbar continues to work relentlessly, putting sports and music at the center of his life. Most recently, he released his latest album titled “Ekseri” which blends emotional, electronic and funky elements.
