Yavuz Çetin spent his early school years traveling through the country's various regions, as his father, journalist Erdal Çetin, responded to the demands inherent in the profession. In 1984, at the age of 14, the adolescent music enthusiast was already taking blues and rock guitar lessons from guitarist Hasan Cihat Örter and, the following year, started learning to master the acoustic guitar and, subsequently, the electric guitar. Before graduating from Istanbul's Haydarpaşa High School, he and classmate Ercan Saatçi who, in later years, became a noted musician as well as sports journalist, entered HEY magazine's music competition and their song, "I Will Cry", became the winning entry.
In 1988, continuing his quest in Istanbul for higher education and advanced musical training, Çetin began studies at Marmara University's Music Department while earning an income as a musical performer in clubs such as Beyaz Ev, in the port town of Bodrum, where he played in 1989–90. In 1991, upon turning 21, he formed, with young musical colleagues Batu Mutlugil, Kerim Çaplı and Sunay Özgür, the musical group, Blue Blues Band. Having married in 1992, Yavuz Çetin and wife Didem filed for divorce four years later. In that year, 1996, and for the remaining four years of his life, he was also a guitarist at the numerous concerts played by the noted band Mazhar-Fuat-Özkan aka MFÖ
In 1997, Yavuz Çetin issued his first album İlk ve Son..., produced by his longtime compatriot Ercan Saatçi, but the album was unable to capture the spirit of that moment's public musical mood. He also earned an income from writing numerous advertising jingles, such as a well-remembered Coca-Cola spot, and his tune "Dünya", which was chosen as part of the soundtrack for the 1999 film, "Propaganda", with a score composed and arranged by master guitarist Erkan Oğur.
He collaborated, as well, on various albums with turkish pop singers such as Teoman, Kıraç, Sibel Tüzün, Soner Arıca, Göksel, Deniz Arcak and Acil Servis. In Göksel's hit song "Sabır", he became the first Turkish guitar player to use a talk box. Of particular note is his solo on Deniz Arcak's Bırakın Beni from the Kıpır Kıpır album which, in an illustration of his mastery of the rock and blues guitar tradition, was recorded on the first take after only a couple of rehearsals. It also became the last studio session recording in which he participated.
Six weeks before his 31st birthday, after expending months of intense effort writing all of the tracks for his second album, Satılık, and having completed the album's final recording session, Yavuz Çetin committed suicide by leaping from Istanbul's Boğaziçi Bridge. Posthumous acclaim followed the subsequent release of the album which a number of music reviewers described as a work of genius. With the passage of years, both Satılık and the previously overlooked İlk ve Son... have gained a near-cult status as Yavuz Çetin's music and words continue to be heard in the region keeping his legend alive for the listening public.

Gizemli bir dünya düşlerimde
Ay gökyüzünde kibarca parıldar
Işığını esirgemez torunlarından
Bırak ruhun erişsin yıldızlara, ait olduğu yere
Zincirlerini kır, engel kalmasın önünde
Kendini hatırla, hiç kaybetme
İstediğini alacaksın eninde sonunda
Sadece sen varsın bunu unutma
Bırak ruhun erişsin yıldızlara, ait olduğu yere
Zincirlerini kır, engel kalmasın önünde
Gecenin rengi, gecenin rengi
Uçuracak bizi rüzgarlar gibi
Gecenin rengi, gecenin rengi
Uçuracak bizi rüzgarlar gibi
Bırak ruhun erişsin yıldızlara, ait olduğu yere
Zincirlerini kır, engel kalmasın önünde
Gecenin rengi, gecenin rengi
Uçuracak bizi rüzgarlar gibi
Gecenin rengi, gecenin rengi
Uçuracak bizi rüzgarlar gibi

The song "Gecenin Rengi" by Yavuz Çetin talks about the power of the human spirit and encourages listeners to let their soul reach for the stars. The lyrics begin by setting the scene at midnight, where all emotions are heightened and a mysterious world is dreamt up. The moon shines gently in the sky, sharing its light with its descendants as the singer urges the listeners to free themselves from the chains that bind them, allowing their soul to soar and find its rightful place among the stars.
The next verse is a reminder to the listener that they were created strong and powerful, and they should never forget who they are or what they are capable of achieving. The singer encourages the listener to reach for what they desire and never give up until they have it, reminding them that they are the only one who can make it happen.
The chorus, "Gecenin Rengi" (The Color of The Night), suggests that the night has a unique and powerful color that can carry them away like the wind. The refrain is repeated multiple times throughout the song, emphasizing the importance of letting go and allowing oneself to dream and be carried away by the beauty of the night sky.
Overall, the song is a call to action to let go of limitations and reach for one's highest potential, stressing that the human spirit is powerful and that nothing can stop it from achieving its goals.
