Uran Apak is voice explorer, electronic artist and vocal coach. His musical essence is a fusion of electronica, vocal improvisation, and Turkish psychedelic influences. With a blend of voice, beats, and loop station, Uran's live performances come alive as he spontaneously crafts songs, involving and engaging the audience in his creative process.
Uran's music projects have taken him on tours across the UK and international stages, and he has a discography of four albums and numerous singles. He has also earned recognition as an award-winning film composer.
Beyond his musical adventures, Uran's passion lies in being a vocal coach, and he embarks on a mission to liberate voices and empower individuals to express their uniqueness while fostering a sense of belonging within a community. His approach is gentle yet playful, guiding people through mind and heart-expanding sound journeys, leaving them transformed in the process.
Uran has an MA degree in Sonic Arts from Goldsmiths University and he also studied with exceptional voice and vocal improv teachers such as Bobby McFerrin and Rhiannon in New York; Mike King, Jenni Roditi and Michael Ormiston in London; Timur Selcuk in Istanbul and Bat-Oyun in Mongolia. He is part of the UK Vocal Improv team that organises the yearly UK Vocal Improv Festival Retreat. On his journey of self development he studied and practiced yoga, Buddhist meditation, shamanism, improv theatre, creative writing, painting, martial arts and conscious dance.
“In an unusual turn with indie music videos – the attitude in the song actually matches the one in the visual. Reminiscent of The Knife’s Pass This On music video, Out of Nothing blasts the dust off of the gym setting in a classy neon strut. Quite perfect in every way a music video can be!”
The Monkey Bread Tree Film Awards / Winner: Best Music Video Spring 2020
"A hugely successful performance. I have received a lot of great feedback from the public who was amazed at the quality of your talent shown at QUEER VOICES 1st edition. I’m sure you could feel on the night how involved the audience got! So unique and thought provoking… Plus nobody could stand still hearing your beat."
