My life equals to sports… Ece Gürsel

“I used to be a basketball player and also played at the professional league. I am after being healthy more than looking fit and working with good trainers. I will a lot better. I can easily say, “My life equals to sports”.

“Half Aware” is about three people. It tells about a relationship I had in the past and another person that entered my life during that relation as a real friend.

Then one day, your friend becomes your lover and makes you live a deeper love than you had told him.”

You have always attracted attention with your beauty. Nowadays, you are doing this with your voice, too. You stepped in the world of music with your new album “Half Aware”. Can you give us some information about this album?

It is an alternative style album. It brought in an alternative music. This field was vacant. All the lyrics and music belong to me. The album contains 11 songs. When you have a close look, you can see that it is an ethnic piece of work. It is difficult to be accepted in the world of music; especially making yourself heard with your first album is much more difficult. However, I am happy with the result. It is an acoustic album. The records were made on the computer environment. All the instruments are live. Music has completely been brought forward.

But, of course, there are people I like listening to such as Sertab Erener, Şebnem Ferah, Özlem Tekin, Mor ve Ötesi. I also like Emre Aydın and Nev.
