A Passion for Music Since Childhood

As a band manager for an Indie-Rock band in Turkey, she developed an extensive network, ultimately transitioning into DJing and music production. With relentless determination, she earned a residency in Berlin and grew into an internationally recognized DJ and producer.

Breaking Through: Global Performances & Twitch Success

Elif’s rise to fame was not without challenges. During the pandemic, when live performances came to a halt, she turned to Twitch, where she connected with global audiences through her live streams, notably alongside BLOND:ISH Abracadabra.

Once the world reopened, she was flooded with international bookings, playing over 100 shows worldwide and further solidifying her position in the scene.

Seeing immense talent struggling to break into major labels, Elif launched Marginalia, a record label dedicated to supporting emerging electronic music artists.

“I wanted to give talented artists an opportunity. Everyone must start somewhere!” – Elif.
