Biography | |
Hadise was born in the town of Mol, near Antwerp in Belgium, on 22 October 1985. Her parents came from Sivas, Turkey and migrated to Belgium in 1972. Hadise has two sisters and one brother. Hadise's name (meaning "a story" or "to tell") was her grandfather's idea and was actually intended for Hadise's older sister. In her child time she took, outside her craze of horse riding, rapidly song lessons in a music school. "I still remember well that, on my 5th, I regulated stood in front of the kitchen door of glass, threw out my trousers and took my pullover down so that seemed as if I was wearing a mini skirt. With a brush in my hand I was already performing to myself. I was singing all the time, if I was in my bed, under the shower, in the car, everywhere." When Hadise was 13, her father wanted to let her go to the German academy for an appropriate education. But this plan didn't continue because of family circumstances. When she graduated in 2003 of her studies, Economic and Modern Languages (in the KA (Koninklijk Atheneum) in Mol), she continued to study Marketing at the PHL (Provenciale Hogeschool Limburg, in Hasselt). She recently graduated of this in June 2006. In 2002 Hadise won the title of Miss Mol. It has given her a lot of self-confidence. But she realised that singing was her thing, so she put the modelwork on the sideline. She focused herself totally and refines her voice and with a mix of endless perseverance and some realism, she took part of Idols 2003. Regrets were big when she wasn't selected to the last 10. But how disappointed she was, she didn't do it for nothing... In the beginning of august 2003 (3 months after her participation of Idols) she gets a call of Johan Hendrickx. The man is manager of the '2Brains Entertainment Group', worldly known as the management of for example Kate Ryan. He was very impressed of the performance and voice of Hadise during the Idols-period! They met to talk about Hadises interests in music and her future. Afer some conversations, at 6 august 2003, they had a deal! Some time later, the first CD was born. A whole year was needed to produce a lot of pain and sweat, but the result is very amasing! Producer Yves Gaillard and Serge Ramaekers took care for the skilled accompaniment. The choice was a very personal musicstyle: Urban/Pop. It's not the classic R&B-music, it's a lot more. Here Hadise felt right at home. The second song she released (at 6 May 2005), is called 'Stir Me Up'. This time Hadise wrote the lyrics together with Yves Jongen. For the production of the song a combination of 3 American producers was created: Leroy Cambers, D. Meezee and Mo Benjamin. They worked on this in their studios in France and the USA. Music sender TMF made of this hot video the Superclip. Hadise went to Skopje, Macedonia;. A team of +-13 persons worked day and night on the 'special effects'. For Hadise this was her first video clip, but definatelly not her last one! It was an exhaustive but great experience! The next day the lyrics for the song were created. D-day: 3 november 2005: The debutalbum "Sweat" (named after her first hitsingle and all of the heavy work/sweat they'd put in the album) is in the Belgian stores! They could be proud on it: 13 of the 14 tracks are 100% own production. The CD is very variable. The ground is an urban R&B-style, but it also has influences of jazz, soul and funk, varied with oriental influences. As bonus we get 'Sakin Gitme'. This is the song 'When ya Breathing On Me', translated in Turkish. Turkey totally love this new talent. Hadise has already presented some shows and appeared in for example the Beyaz Show and Charity Show that was broadcasted live on Show TV. Also Turkish newspapers and magazines are filled with articles, interviews and photoshoots. During her appereance in Turkey the paparazzi didn't leave her a second. Everywhere people were waiting to see Hadise. Bodyguards are necessary, not a luxuary. April 2006: The Turkish sender Star TV has asked Hadise to present the Turkish Idol. After some deliberation with her management they agreed. This is her debut as a TV presentatrice. The show, called 'Popstar Turkiye', every week has about 20 million viewers. Her manager Johan Hendrickx is in the jury. Hadise doesn't have plans to move to Turkey. She doesn't feel right at home there, and she would miss her city Mol. 1 may 2006. 1 of her wishes will come to real life: during the final of 'Miss Turkey' in Istanbul, she will perform together with her idol Tarkan. This 4-hour during show is broadcasted LIVE at Star-Tv and can be followed from around the globe. Also the German RTL will be at that show to make a special about Hadise and Tarkan. 4 august 2006. Today her most recent single 'Bad Boy' (Radio Mix) is availably on single. Together with her producer Yves Gaillard she has mixed the song into something new. A lot of Oriental influences are mixed and the result is something really for Hadise! The video clip, recorded at the beach at Bredene, came alive after 3 long and heavy nights. The team Pimpz created an original and dared video. Hadise has, together with her manager, decited not to accept the second script offer for a movie. After a long time of negociating they didn't pull it off because there is just not enough time. Also she would have to fly to Turkey and back every time. But you never know what the future brings... At 14 October 2006 Hadise won her first TMF award! She was nominated for Best Urban National, together with Kaye Styles, Leki and Brahim. With a crushing score of 42,9% she took the award home. For Hadise, this was her second nomination. In 2005 she also was nominated, this time for Best New Artist, but unfortunatelly this one went to the female singer Katerine. November 2006. Hadise quits at her record company 2 Brains, where she signed her first contract. 40 months long they have been working together, but because of mutual disagreements they decited to break this contract. A lot of other artists, like Kate Ryan, Eve Kempbell, Yves Jongen, ... followed her. Because of this a lot of problems were created, like for example for the release of the CD of Hadise called 'Sweat - Special Edition'. 13 October 2007: the yearly TMF Awards! Hadise was nominated for 1 award: 'Best Urban National'. And like last year she won and very happily she took this award home! Other nominated people in this category were Kaye Styles, Brahim and Lunaman. 4 February 2008: 'My Body', the second single of the new album, is launched into the Belgian stores. On the single you can also hear the Lotion Remix. 9 February 2008: The video for 'My Body' was recorded in a Belgian studio. The video, created by Senol Korkmaz (the producer who also did the 'Milk Chocolate Girl' video), has become an artistic piece of art with as themes lust, beauty and sexuality. She also works together with Eddie Morales (choreographer and dancer that has worked together with famous people such as Justin Timberlake, Missy Elliot and Mariah Carey). In 2008 she is, together with Ronny Mosuse, appointed as Flemish ambassador of the Intercultural Dialogue 2008. Their jobs are to increase the conscience of importance and advantages of an intercultural dialogue. 5 June 2008: The single 'A Good Kiss' is translated by Sezen Aksu in Turkish and will be put today on the Turkish market. The song is called 'Deli Oglan' and will be released by the Turkish mobile operator Turkcell. For this CD Hadise has worked a lot together with her loyal songwriter/producer Yves Jongen, but also with foreign (Italian, Turkish...) artists such as Stefaan Fernande, Elio Deepcore, Stano Simor, Luca Chiaravalli, Deniz Erten and Sezen Aksu. Also on 6 June 2008 Hadises 7th single is released: 'My Man And The Devil On His Shoulder'. In late 2008 Hadise gets a job as a presenter for the first time in Belgium. She was the main presenter of the second season of X Factor at Vtm. Although Hadise said in 2006 that she would never take part in the Eurovision Song Contest after her friend Kate Ryan failed to make it into the finals, Hadise announced in 2008 she would like to take part in the contest representing Turkey and on October 24, 2008 Hadise was confirmed as the Turkish representative at the Eurovision Song Contest in 2009. In late October Ibrahim Sahin, the general manager of Turkish broadcaster TRT announced that Hadise had won the poll held by TRT to determine the act to represent Turkey and they therefore had chosen Hadise. Hadise explained to the press that she wanted to represent Turkey instead of Belgium because she has already won many Belgian awards and also because the Eurovision Song Contest isn't popular in Belgium anymore, whereas it is in Turkey. Hadise and her management was given complete control over the production of the song for the Eurovision Song Contest. She decided the lyricist, composer, producer and the language of the 3 songs she presented to TRT. New album of Hadise, "Fast Life" is expected to be released on Monday 11th May. Dum Tek Tek will be included in the CD. Listen to Turkish entry here.

Lyrics / Текст песни | |
Baby you’re perfect for me You are my gift from heaven This is the greatest story Of all times We met like in a movie So meant to last forever And what you’re doing to me Feels so fine Angel, I wake up and live my dreams Endlessly Crazy for you! | Can you feel the rhythm in my heart The beat’s going Dum Tek Tek Always out it like there’s no limit, Feels like there’s no way back Baby, I read all answers In your exotic movements You are the greatest dancer Of all times You make me feel so special No one can kiss like you do As if it’s your profession Feels so fine… |
Interview | |
- Dear Hadise, and first of all our congratulations for being selected Turkish representative at Eurovision 2009! How do you feel now, being a Eurovision participant? - I feel like a part of something very big, very exciting and very important. It’s great to know your country confides in you and amazing to get all the wonderful responses to our song. - Tell us, what was your first thought when you were approached to perform at the Eurovision? - I felt I was given a great chance to connect with the Turkish audiences. I didn’t start my career in Turkey so an opportunity like this, is something I could never turn down. Besides that, Eurovision is Europe’s favorite TV show and is watched by millions of people every year. So what else could I feel when I was selected? Only blessed… - How can you describe your song Dum Tek Tek in one phrase? - Full of Love and positive! - Can you tell shortly the story of the song creation? - Sinan Akcil composed the song and we wrote the lyrics with my long-time co-writer Stefaan Fernande. The title is the key to the other lyrics, it is the name for a beat of a Turkish percussion instrument, darbuka. It is very uptempo and makes you dance whenever wherever. So the lyrics came out all positive and happy. - Have you presented only Dum Tek Tek for the consideration of the TRT jury, or some other songs as well? Will they be released too? - We did three songs and this was chosen. The other ones are also as lovely and we are planning to release them with my third studio album. - Are you usually following the Eurovision contest itself? Any memories connected with it? - I voted for Turkey in 2003, the year Sertab Erener won. It was really exciting. And every year we watch the contest together with my family. It is so much fun, I like following it. - What will be your aim in the contest? - To put on a show that will make me say “I did everything right” afterwards. That is my first aim. I like giving people something fun to watch, and I’d like to have fun myself. The expectations from the voting results come after these but of course I will be very happy if we end up in a good place or win. Who wouldn’t want it? - You're going to perform mostly in English on Eurovision stage. Was it natural or difficult decision? - Almost all my songs and albums have been in English. Turkish audiences first knew me singing in English. In Belgium it is the same. So it is going to be pretty “natural” as you put it. - Are you planning to record new versions of the track, other languages, official remixes? - We have prepared some official mixes but the focus is on the original version of course. At least until the contest is over. It can almost be called bilingual so recording in other languages is not something we have considered yet. - You have been engaged in a long promotional tour. What is your brightest example from it? - How people responded to “Dum Tek Tek” is the best part of it all. We did the tour to get the song known but in addition to that the song was loved. It was great to see that in person and it worked as a great motivation for me. - Do you think in general that pre-contest promotion is important for the contest success? - It is very important for audiences to be familiar with your song at the contest night. So yes, I think it is important. But bigger than that it helps you to turn down your excitement when you see people are supporting you and loving the song. Personally that is the bigger gain for me. I will remember all the support before I go on stage that night. - There are a lot of discussions around the music video for your song. When it will be available? Can you tell us more about its creation? - We are going to use it for the promotion of the single. It leaked on the Internet before it was supposed to so it changed some of our plans. It is a fiery, gold-coloured video and I like it a lot. - Any hints on how the stage presentation will look like? Who will be the choreographer for your entry? Who will join you as backing singers-dancers? - I like to keep the surprise of it but I can say it will be perfectly fit to my style and the style of the song. We have male and female dancers and back-up singers so we will put on an exciting show all together. - What do you think is more important for Eurovision success: song, performer or the show? - Song is the number one element but you have only three minutes to show it. “Eurovision success” is relative as a term but if we are talking about winning the contest, everything you say is equally important. - Eurovision is sometimes labeled as political contest. Do you think of it as political event? - Voting sometimes can be, but the songs that win are always remembered all year and the favorites are almost always appreciated. So maybe politics interfere sometimes but if doesn’t effect the whole flow of the show. - Addition of jury voting this year – a welcomed change for you? - I think if we do good, it will feel good to be appreciated by both the audiences and the professionals. - Have you already chance to listen to the other competing entries? Any personal favourites there? - I did listen to them but not to point out rivals. I like the performers and the songs that I will share the same stage with. That is the part I focus on. - Let's speak briefly on your career. What you consider as the main highlight in it? - I feel like I’m learning a lot along the way and when I look at my career I see it is going upwards. That is the highlight itself for me. I won awards in Belgium in my genre and in Turkey people respond very well to my music. When I’m sure I can satisfy my fans and the audiences I am satisfied myself. - Have you taken part in other music competitions? Do you like competing in general? - I started my career in a competition. It was a talent contest in Belgium. I didn’t win that but I was discovered there. As that shows it, competing isn’t the essential part for me. It was and it is about doing my best and expecting the best. - What is your preferable style of music? What are the singers, having the biggest influence on you? - I do RnB and soul with elements of pop in them. Prince, Mary J. Blige, Tina Turner are my biggest inspirations. - You’re releasing albums in both Belgium and Turkey, though these countries have rather different music priorities. How do you manage to cope with it? - My songs often has Turkish style melodies in them. Europe likes them and I like that kind of hybrid songs. It is fun to do modern music with putting your ethnic roots in it. - Thank you for the interview, good luck with your preparations and see you in Moscow! |
