She started out as the vocalist in "The Bad." The Bad was an underground rock band like most other rock bands and they would perform gigs at clubs, often playing covers from other popular bands. In 1993, she met Şebnem Ferah, who has now also become another recognized rock musician in Turkey, and became the keyboard player of the successful all-female rock band Volvox. Özlem occasionally performed as the lead singer as well.
While still in Volvox, she met Hakan Peker and they started working on her debut solo album in 1994. This album, Kime Ne (literally, who cares?), was eventually released in January 1996 to widespread critical acclaim. The first single Aşk Herşeyi Affeder Mi? (Does love forgive everything?) shot to the top of the charts. Other hit tracks include Duvaksız Gelin (Bride without a veil) and Herkes Şanslı Doğmuyor (Not everyone is born lucky).
Özlem Tekin then left Hakan Peker's record label and went to İstanbul Plak (Istanbul Record) which also had acquired other popular singers like Tarkan. Her second album Öz (Pure) was released in February 1998. This spawned Yol (Road) which became an enormous hit.
Laubali (Care-free/Disrespectful) came out a year later to great success.
Özlem started up her own TV show on Kanal D called Yaz Rüzgarı (Summer Wind) in 2000. This aired for 1 hour, 5 days a week and received high ratings. In year 2003 she started acting in the TV series "Sil Baştan" (From Scratch). This show aired for 2 years, also with high ratings.
In 2005, she starred in the stage musical "Mucizeler Komedisi" (The Comedy of Miracles). That very year, her new album "10987654321" was released, which presented a much harder sound than her previous effort.
In 2006 she played in the Cem Yılmaz movie "Hokkabaz" (The Trickster).
In the same year,she also played in the tv movie "Maçolar" (Machos).
After this experiment, she received a nice surprise, a forest in her honor, owing to her tenth year in music sector. After a long preparation,the forest was completed and named as "Özlem Tekin-Bahar Ormanı (Özlem Tekin-Spring Forest)" by her fans.
In 2007, she played in another TV movie "Fesupanallah" (Gosh) and nowadays she is preparing for her new project which is a theatre play "Kim O" (Who's That). Özlem Tekin will share the roles with a famous Turkish thespian Metin Serezli in this project.
In 2008, she started a new TV show in one of the most famous national music channels in Turkey, Kral TV. The show's name is "Hiperaktif" (Hyperactive), which is well-suited for Özlem's personality. Özlem is also fully suitable for the program format in her second TV announcer experience after "Yaz Rüzgarı" (Summer Breeze).

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Silerim değişir alnımın yazısı
Silerim değişir alnımın yazısı
Bahtımın karası dostumun acısı
Sarılırım iyileşir kalbimin yarası
Sarılırım iyileşir kalbimin yarası
Sil gözünü yaştan ekmeğini taştan
Hiç korkma sil baştan
Kar erir oluktan, gün doğar ufuktan
Hiç korkma sil baştan, hiç korkma sil baştan
In Özlem Tekin's song "Sil Baştan," the lyrics depict a sense of resilience and determination in the face of hardship. The opening lines, "Dört duvar arası ömrümün yarısı, Silerim değişir alnımın yazısı" translate to "Half of my life is spent between four walls, I erase and change the writing on my forehead." This suggests that the singer has lived a constrained and confined life, but still possesses the ability to overcome and redefine their circumstances.
The following lines, "Bahtımın karası dostumun acısı, Sarılırım iyileşir kalbimin yarası" can be translated as "The darkness of my luck, the pain of my friend, I embrace them and heal the wounds of my heart." Here, the lyrics convey the idea that the singer can find solace and healing by embracing both their own struggles and the pain of others.
The chorus, "Hadi dayan, hadi gülüm dayan, Sil gözünü yaştan ekmeğini taştan, Hiç korkma sil baştan, Kar erir oluktan, gün doğar ufuktan, Hiç korkma sil baştan" translates to "Come on, hold on my dear, wipe away your tears, make bread out of stone, don't be afraid to start again, the snow melts and the sun rises on the horizon, don't be afraid to start again." These lines serve as a mantra urging resilience, encouraging the listener to persevere, overcome their fears, and embrace new beginnings.
Overall, "Sil Baştan" is a song that encourages the listener to find strength and empowerment in the face of adversity. It highlights the importance of embracing change, healing emotional wounds, and starting anew.
