Born Fatma Sezen Yıldırım on the 13 July 1954 in Sarayköy/Denizli, Turkey, she began to study at the local agricultural institute, but gave up her studies to concentrate on music full time. She released her first single, "Haydi Şansım/Gel Bana" (Come on My Luck/Come to Me) in 1975. However, she remained undiscovered until her 1976 single "Olmaz Olsun" reached number one in the Turkish charts. Her first album Serçe (Sparrow) appeared in 1978, which gave her also her nickname.
In the coming years, Aksu also acted in two films and opened a live music club in Istanbul. Her music throughout these years remained conventional, but melodic pop, perhaps best exemplified by "Gülümse" (Smile) of 1991.
In 1995, Aksu branched out with the experimental album Işık Doğudan Yükselir (Light from the East), drawing both on western classical and regional Turkish musical traditions. This album made her known outside Turkey and gave her a devoted world music following across Europe.
She has collaborated with many other musicians, such as Tarkan and Sertab Erener, resulting in continental hits such as "Şımarık".

Sezen Aksu Lyrics
Aynalar Haksýzlýk bu geçen yýllar Gönlüm çok genç bedenim yaþlý Ha…
Belalım Uçurum uçurum gözlerine baktýðým sensin Prangalarca boynuma…
Beni Kategorize Etme Beni kategorize etme Benle oynama Yaftayý yapýþtýrýp Bana…
Bırak Beni Bırak beni yeter aldattığın yeter bırak beni Deli ettin art…
Gamsız Gamsýz yaptý dünya beni Kadere razýyým ben Yorgun ve þikay…
Gidiyorum Gidiyorum yine bu şehirden Ayaklarım geri, geri Tekerlekler …
Istanbul Hatirasi Bir eski resim duvarda Belki Beti belki Pola Markiz'de oturm…
Kış Masalı Bir su damlası ürperir tenimde Bir temas hatırlarım ta eski…
Şinanay Ada vapuru yandan çarklı Bayraklar donanmış cafcaflı Simit…
Son Bakış Bir söz bitişi gibi son buldu sevişler Bir yaz güneşi gibi…
Yıllar Sonra Hiçbir şey kalmasın Hepsi silinsin hepsi Hiçbir şey kalmasın…
Zor Yıllar Acılardan bir türkü Düşünce yüreğime Yetmiyor sevda sözleri …
