ABOUT AYŞEDENIZ
In an emotional message to her fans, AyseDeniz writes,
When I was growing up, people told me that I couldn't be good in academics and in music; that I couldn't play classical AND rock; that I couldn't touch jazz or pop, and definitely cannot wear sneakers to concerts!
When I got older, industry members said I should only focus on one genre because they think YOU only listen to one genre and live in a box! Guess what - they were wrong, and I am so glad I didn't listen to any of them!
