Yasemin Mori

Yasemin Aygün Savgi (born 4 March 1982, Istanbul) is a Turkish alternative rock singer. As daughter of Kuleli Military High School and Istanbul State Academy of Fine Arts-graduated architect father and Edirne-born mother worked as a sales chief on Turkish Airlines, her original last name was Savgi. She chooses to go by the scene alias mori, which means girl in various ethnic Balkan Turkic dialects, and which was a name she was called by many of her friends as a young girl. She composed her first song when she was a teenager with contributions of her elder sister's music record share. At a Kings of Convenience concert on Istanbul in July 6, 2005, she invaded the stage by dancing on her own. Her first album Hayvanlar was released on 10 July 2008 by Irmak Plak. Mori released her second studio album Deli Bando in October 2012 after three years of development, working with members of Korhan Futaci ve Kara Orkestra and Bogaziçi Jazz Choir. Mori released her 3rd album Finnari Kakaraska in March 2015, featuring two covers Gel by Ajda Pekkan and Kanatlari Gümüs Yavru Bir Kus by Nazim Hikmet. Mori prefers to live as a vegetarian, because of a memory about a fish restaurant in her childhood. She occasionally shares her works and announcements via her own Tumblr page since August 2009, as 2004 graduate of the Department of Graphic Design at Bilkent University.
