After graduating from Erenköy Kız Lisesi, a high school in Erenköy, Istanbul, she continued her education at a university in Switzerland for two years.

Musical career
Incidentally, Deniz met a representative of a music company called Raks Müzik Yapım and they produced together her first album Bendeniz in the year 1993. Owing to the extravagant title song Ya Sen Ya Hiç, the album was a large success and sold over a million copies. Kanak Attack, a socio-critical German film by Feridun Zaimoğlu (2000) used a piece called Sana Mı Kaldım from her 1996 album Bendeniz III.

Bendeniz Lyrics

Bir defa aklýma koyduktan sonra
Bana ne sen kendi derdine yan
Acaba bulur musun bir ben daha
Elime ne fýrsatlar geçer daha
Günümü gün etmek hiç de zor deðil
Bana ne sen kendi derdine yan
Sen kaybettin sen yenildin
Zor gülecek zor gözlerin
Farketmez bana
Þans benden yana
Fark etmez bana
Git yoluna
Sen kaybettin
Bana hiç dokunmaz
Sen kaybettin
Bana bir þey olmaz
Sen kaybettin
Gidiþin aðlatmaz
Sen kaybettin
Yüreðim sýzlamaz
In Bendeniz's "Sen Kaybettin," the singer declares that love is the key to his path, and that it is not difficult for him to live life despite the loss of his lover. He urges his former lover not to pine for him and his troubles, as he has moved on and wonders if she will find another lover like him. He boasts about the opportunities that he will get and how he will not chase after her, even if she regrets leaving him. The chorus bluntly states that she has lost and suffered the consequence of chasing him away. The singer rejoices in his good fortune, indicating that the turn of events doesn't affect him, and he asks her to go her way. In the end, he reassures his former lover that his heart doesn't ache over her departure.
This song's lyrics express the confidence and assertiveness in rejecting someone's emotional hold over them. It shows a clear distinction between the two parties' desires and how one has moved on while the other has not, and how the former is not intimidated by what the latter can do to them anymore.
Overall, the song conveys a sense of defiance and liberation that comes from leaving behind an unsatisfactory relationship.

29 yıldır hayattan aldığım her tat değişti, bir tek senin sesindeki o tınıyı duyduğumda gittiğim o yer değişmedi.

ağlayayım mı isimli bir şarkısında diyor ki " yaşın kadar geçtim sevgiden, her sevgi böyle değildi derinden" .. 90 larda müziklerde sözler baştan aşağı kaliteydi... Ve Bendeniz ... gençliğime dokunan en güzel ses... yeniden dinlemek beni o yıllara götürdü... iyi ki varsın..
