About SIRMA

SIRMA is a genre-bending singer, songwriter, and music producer, crafting immersive alt-pop and electronic music that pushes sonic boundaries.

Born and raised in Istanbul, she grew up surrounded by music that many would consider unconventional. Studying classical piano and jazz singing as a teenager laid the foundation for her adventurous compositions. But it was her decision to attend Berklee College of Music that introduced her to the tools she needed to become a self-sufficient artist.

After spending four years in Boston, SIRMA moved to New York to work as a sound engineer by day and a recording artist by night. Around that time, her early demos caught the attention of EDM superstar ILLENIUM. Their collaborative singles “Drop Our Hearts” and “Drop Our Hearts, Pt. 2” opened up a new avenue for SIRMA as a topliner. Eager to broaden her skill set, she spent the following years working as a session singer, educator, and writer, while establishing her distinct sound and brand.

Though her work has been recognized by Entertainment Weekly, The Line of Best Fit, and Clash, SIRMA considers the success of her first self-produced Turkish single a defining moment. Titled “Belki Bir Gün”, the song reached #3 on Spotify’s Viral 50 Turkey chart just one week after its release. Her follow-up English single, “Coming Undone”, made its global radio debut on Apple Music’s Beats 1, further solidifying SIRMA’s path as a full-time musician.

In 2019, SIRMA launched an online course, Modern Pop Vocal Production, in collaboration with Soundfly. While developing the curriculum, she discovered her passion for music education. Since then, she has been writing informative articles for music tech companies like Roland, MusicTech, Output, and LANDR, among others.

In 2021, SIRMA was recruited to compose, produce, mix, and master original music for Meta’s Sound Collection. As an extension of her solo project, this initiative brought her songs to millions via Instagram reels posted by major brands including Victoria’s Secret, Haus Labs by Lady Gaga, and Jeffree Star Cosmetics. 

As a vocal producer, SIRMA has also branched out into sample pack creation. Her first Splice release, SIRMA’s Vocal Palette, and two BandLab Sounds packs — SIRMA Presents Ethereal Pop Vocals and SIRMA Presents Vocal Chords — are out now.

Most recently, SIRMA contributed cinematic vocals as a soloist for Go Türkiye’s upcoming mini-series, “Istanbul My Love”, starring Engin Akyürek and Afra Saraçoğlu. 

Today, SIRMA continues to evolve as a multifaceted artist. When she’s not working on her own projects, she can be found collaborating with fellow musicians — cowriting, producing, consulting, and connecting.
