Mikko Leppilampi

At the age of five, he was admitted to the piano department of the conservatory with first place. After six years of piano education, he took flute lessons from his teacher Erkan Alpaydan in the flute department, and then guitar lessons from Erdem Sökmen when the guitar department opened. During this time, he continued his theater education, solo work in a children's choir, and learned rhythmic instruments. He then graduated successfully from Kültür College and completed a “Communication” certificate program at Hesser College in New Hampshire, USA. To advance his music career and bring innovations from Los Angeles, the heart of the show business world, back to his country, he began his higher education at the L.A. Musicians Institute. Later, the artist decided to continue his higher education in Turkey and returned to his country to continue at Bilgi University's Music department. Kenan Doğulu, although a famous, beloved, and highly regarded artist in Turkey, still considers his achievements in his music career insufficient and continuously works to expand his goals with even larger projects. His future goals include undertaking significant projects both in his country and abroad and becoming a world-renowned artist. Discography The artist's first album, "Yaparım Bilirsin," was released in August 1993. That year, with 93 concerts, Kenan Doğulu reached a significant number across Turkey. His second album, "Sımsıkı Sıkı Sıkı," was released in December 1994, and within a year, the artist achieved a remarkable success with 175 live performances. Kenan Doğulu III, released in August 1996, was met with great enthusiasm and appreciation from his fans. On October 29, 1997, Kenan Doğulu rearranged the 10th Anniversary March, one of the symbols of our Republic, and presented it to modern-day Turkey and the Turkish people. This arrangement of the 10th Anniversary March was also included in the Kenan Doğulu 3.5 maxi single released in 1997. The artist made a significant contribution to bringing the Republic March to the forefront, its media coverage, and its renewed presence in the minds of children and young people. In 1998, he successfully completed a Republic Tour that started in Bursa and continued to Antalya, Istanbul, Ankara, Iskenderun, Samsun, Selçuk, and concluded in Izmir as part of the 75th Anniversary celebrations of our Republic. In 1999, inspired by the public's interest in the new arrangement of the 10th Anniversary March, the artist once again demonstrated his respect for our great leader Atatürk with a single album featuring a new arrangement of the Youth March. The artist believes that such works play an important role in the adoption of our anthems by new generations. In the same year, the album "Ben Senin Herşeyinim" was released. After a two-year silence, the artist ended the anticipation of music lovers in 2001 with the highly successful album "Ex Aşkım." In 2002, the unplugged version of the "Ex Aşkım" album, "Kenan Doğulu 5.5," was released and gained as much appreciation as "Ex Aşkım," reaching a wide audience. He met with his fans once more in 2003 with a brand-new album titled "Demedi Deme." In August 2004, he added another album to his half-numbered albums series with Kenan Doğulu 6.5. He has a total of 21 music videos, including Yaparım Bilirsin, Kurşun Adres Sormaz ki, Sımsıkı Sıkı Sıkı, Can Bebeğim, İsyan Bu Haykırış, Hiç Bana Sordun mu?, Kandırdım, Günah Değil mi Bana?, 10.

The music video for the song "İsyan Bu, Haykırış," filmed in Diyarbakır, was made solely to aid earthquake victims there and provided financial support to the affected citizens. Furthermore, Doğulu Ses ve Görüntü Hizmetleri Ltd. Şti., owned by the artist and launched at the end of December 1993, started operating under the name Doğulu Productions in its own building with an experienced and new team as of July 1998. Doğulu Productions has produced Kenan Doğulu's albums and has also recorded albums for various other artists in its studio. It also continues to work on all kinds of domestic and foreign concerts, sports events, CD Plus productions, and digital recording and mastering. Finally, the artist is currently working on an English-language album and frequently travels to and from Los Angeles for this reason.
