Yüksek Sadakat, one of Turkish rock music’s most distinctive and long-lasting bands, was founded in Istanbul in 1997. The band’s founder, songwriter, and bassist, Kutlu Özmakinacı, embarked on a journey with an approach that prioritized sincerity, lyrics, and melody.
Their debut album, “Yüksek Sadakat” (2005), quickly gained a wide audience. Songs like “Belki Üstümüzden Bir Kuş Geçer”, “Kafile” and “Aşk Durdukça” reflected the band’s unique emotional depth and energy, leaving a lasting mark on the Turkish rock scene.
In the following years, Yüksek Sadakat has continuously developed and enriched its musical style with the albums Katil & Maktûl” (2008), “Renk Körü” (2011), “IV” (2014) and “Rengarenk” (2020). Combining heavy guitar tones with melodic narrative, the band has created a style that both provokes thought and moves listeners to dance.
The band, which represented Turkey in the Eurovision Song Contest in 2011 with the English song “Live It Up”, has carried its energy to international stages.
Today, Yüksek Sadakat continues to believe in the unifying power of music through its powerful stage performances, heartfelt narrative, and years of productivity. With every album, with every song, it offers listeners a new story and a new emotional journey.
