D!sha

Fun, Intimate, Personal, Engaging, Inclusive dynamic performance. Eclectic and thoughtfully curated music selection, danceable and very groovy tunes.

Nomadic Turkish singer, songwriter, music producer, and DJ D!SHA resides in San Francisco.

D!SHA began her musical journey singing in polyphonic choirs and receiving professional opera training in Turkey and the Czech Republic. She showcased her talents as a first soprano in various musicals, including Rent, Sweeney Todd, West Side Story, Les Misérables, and Hairspray, while studying at the University of Central Lancashire’s Musical Theatre Society in the UK. After completing her studies, she was accepted into Berklee College of Music’s Professional Music/Vocal Performance program.

She continued her musical career by performing with popular live bands in Ankara, Turkey, while managing artists and opera companies from Beijing, Seoul, Vienna, and Tallinn for festivals organized by the Directorate General of Turkish Opera and Ballet.

D!SHA later joined Carnival Cruises as a showband singer, performing with talented musicians in 6- and 9-piece bands. For about two and a half years, she traveled the world, performing in the Caribbean, South America, Europe, and North America, which significantly enhanced her performance skills.

Over the past seven years, D!SHA has focused on music production and songwriting, adding disk jockeying to her skill set. Living in San Francisco, one of the world’s top destinations for dance music, her love for electronic music has shaped a new career path. Her eclectic taste in music, especially electronic and world music, combined with her outgoing personality, ensures her performances are unforgettable.
