As a young boy, he used to wander from one village to another; playing his saz (baglama) in circumstition ceremonies; or performed in conversations held in the chamber of the village. Although he got the recognition as a master of bozlak*, he also had a rich repertoire of traditional folk songs from mid-Anatolia region.
