Akyol is the daughter of fellow artist Muzaffer Akyol, and, like her father, she is involved in visual arts as well as being a graduate from cultural studies. Her debut solo record, Develerle Yaşıyorum, stroked a new chord in Turkish alternative music scene. She unearthed her own story expanded into nine tracks in May 2014. She gained notoriety in the scene as each parts of Toz ve Toz, and the local hypnotic "electro-acoustic" band Seni Görmem İmkansız with Tuğçe Şenoğul, now determined to continue her musical venture as a whimsical storyteller.
The singer's sound can be defined as ‘musiki’ rather than the old good muzak itself. An old school word used in Turkish language for music, be that a more sophisticated, oriental and spiritual sound.
Akyol received Best Artist award at Songlines Music Awards 2019.

Deniz dalgalı
Bu su gözyaşlarımın eseri
Zamanda yolculuk geri
Çal şu şarkıyı çal plaktan
Dönsün fırtına
Yakışır
Ah kadim sevdam
Senle bir kayıkta batıyoruz
Deniz dalgalı
In Gaye Su Akyol's song "Şahmeran", the lyrics describe a journey on a turbulent sea with someone special, with whom the singer is sailing in the same boat. The sea represents the turmoil of emotions and feelings, as well as the tears shed in the past. The journey is also a trip back in time, a nostalgic longing for the past, and a reflection on lost love.
The singer asks for a song to be played on the record player, hoping that the stormy sea can turn and calm down, restoring the peace and balance of the relationship. They are two lost souls on a journey together, trying to find their way back to each other, which is represented by the ancient, perpetual love that the singer has for their companion. The final line suggests that they are sinking together, possibly indicating that despite their efforts to keep the relationship afloat, it may not be sustainable in the end.
Overall, "Şahmeran" is a deeply emotional and poetic song that explores themes of love, loss, and nostalgia, using the metaphor of a journey on the sea to convey the complexity of human emotions and relationships.

You and I going in a boat
The sea is wavy
Water is coming from my tears
Time travelling backwards
Play that song, play the vinyl
Let the storm turn around
It suits perfectly
You and I two lost souls
Oh my ancient love
You and I drowning in a boat
The sea is wavy

Komposisi musik yang unik dimana saya dapat menghayati musiknya dengan sangat dalam karena terdapat unsur perpaduan antara kultur dan sisi hidup yang gelap sehingga mencintpkan musik yang menyayat imajinasi serta akal fikiran kita.

Greetings from Turkey and sorry for the recent events in your country

Dear Carl, you look suspiciously Turkish with your mustache and dark hair.

Şahmeran; "İran-Pers mitolojisinde rastlanan akıllı ve iyicil olarak tanımlanan bellerinden aşağısı yılan, üstü ise insan şeklindeki Maran adı verilen, doğaüstü yaratıkların başında bulunan ve hiç yaşlanmayan, ölünce ruhunun kızına geçtiğine inanılan varlık""
Biz ise bu kadar uzatmayıp akıllı, iyicil, doğaüstü bu varlığa kısaca Gaye Su Akyol diyoruz... <3
