D.$AHIN // CHILI

D.$ahin is a Berlin based singer/songwriter/producer and multi-instrumentalist who embarks on a musical journey combining an earthly blend of Pop, Soul and R&B with her soulful, reassuring voice. Originally from Istanbul, D.$ahin came to Germany in the early 90s with her family and was granted asylum and eventually citizenship as a teenager. Growing up between the two worlds of traditional Turkish music (she studied Saz, a Turkish string instrument) and western pop music shaped her instincts as a singer early on. Between '12 and '14, D.$ahin won 1st place at Dj Tomekk and Kurtis Blow's Boogie Down Berlin Showcase and landed an opening slot for the Grammy-nominated band Hiatus Kaiyote. After relocating to Valencia/Spain she quickly established herself as one of the most exciting performer in the area and played a sold-out showcase of her original music as part of the M.U.V. festival. Upon returning to Berlin she dedicated her attention to further development of her production skills. In 2022 she joined the Berlin based collective A Song For You and performed along side music heavy weights such as Noah Slee, Nick Hakeem, Annahstasia, Kelvyn Colt, Lary and many more. On the album 'Home' D.$ahin is featured as a songwriter and vocalist with the tracks 'Theo's Message' and 'Give' featuring acclaimed musician Theo Croker.
