Who is Ferdi Tayfur?
Ferdi Tayfur was born in 1945 in Adana's Hürriyet District. Father Cumali Turanbayburt, who is a fan of the famous theater and dubbing artist Ferdi Tayfur, named his youngest son Ferdi Tayfur.
His father, Cumali Turanbayburt Bey, named his youngest son Ferdi Tayfur because of his admiration for the artist Ferdi Tayfur. His father's greatest wish is for Ferdi to receive a good education. However, the murder of his father causes Ferdi's school life to be cut short.
Ferdi, who had to leave school, contributes to his family's livelihood by working on the farm. When young Ferdi was only 16 years old, he went from Adana to Istanbul with the dream of becoming a singer. Since there was not much demand for child singers in those years, Ferdi Tayfur, who could not prove himself, returned to Adana and continued working as a tractor driver on the farm.
He comes to Istanbul again in 1968 and makes a two-record deal with Seda Plak. However, the two 45s he made did not work. He returns to Adana and takes over the work on the farm. Three years later, his record titled 'I Have No Peace' is not sold either. Ferdi Tayfur has produced many albums.
He is famous for his songs such as Seni Belendim, Gönül Yorgunu, Sevda Yelleri, Emmoğlu, Çeşme, Last Year, At Every Hour, Don't Think I'll Return to You, Don't Worry You, I Miss You Too, Sliding in the Stars, Huzurum Kalmasıd.
He made 50 tapes and over 34 films. He received the Golden Record Award 9 times. In 1982, he founded the Ferdifon Plakçılık company under his own name. It also entered the construction industry in 2009.
