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.
Boşluk Ve Sonsuzluk
Gaye Su Akyol Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sarıyor serin derini
Elim tutamaz elini
Sırları derin
İnsan yabancı bu yere
Ölmek ne haddimize
Yaşamak ne ki, bu oyun kimin
Hülyaya dalmış bir foton gibi
Biz bir rüyayız
Başka bir rüyanın içinde
Boşluğun pençesinde
Kuyular, kumrular, kuğular gibi
