Influenced by such famous vocalists as Ella Fitzgerald, Aretha Franklin and Randy Crawford, it was natural that Selda began singing funk and soul tracks from an early age. Her personal preference for songs of Brand New Heavies, Earth, Wind & Fire and rock music from Mother’s Finest laid the foundation for the broad diversity of her vocal capabilities. “Taking only one direction” was never an option for Selda!

Selda was first noticed at the age of 15. Whilst still at school she fronted the rock-pop band “Girl Power” as the vocalist. With 4 girls on stage, “Girl Power” developed an energetic mixture of self-confidence and robust rock music combined with soul elements. Selda’s voice was the band’s trademark and also the guarantee for considerable success. Whilst still at school “Girl Power” performed numerous concerts with their obvious motto (“we’ll show the men …!!”) and sensational stage show and whilst she was still in further education they were part of the ’90s pop culture and were featured in articles in the German teen magazine “Bravo Girl!”, in daily newspapers and, of course, performed at numerous concerts and small music festivals.

Aside from “Girl Power” Selda started making her own way as a solo artist and later extended her vocal range by singing on various Dance-, Electro- and also House-Music productions. The list of projects, labels and producers she has worked with in the past years reads like a “Who’s Who” of the dance and club music scene: Bellini, Loona, Fragma, Paffendorf, Project Aura (Soundtrack “Pura Vida Ibiza”), Angels (an act in Japan), Ramon Zenker, Gottfried Engels, Torsten Stenzel, Tiger Records, No Respect Records, Yawa Recordings, just to name a few …..

In addition to her studio work, Selda has fascinated audiences with her powerfull voice and stage performance at many events and live shows in various House Clubs all over Germany, e.g. Apollo (Cologne), Camel Private Club Tour, Tribehouse (Neuss), Casino (Essen), NOH-Club Party (Duesseldorf) …..

Right now Selda stormed with her first solo Single “100% Pure Love” into the Top 10 of all the Dance Charts and she even entered the official German Top 100 Single Charts! She has, as one of the first female vocalists, created a new style of music that can be called “Electro-Vocal-House”. With this sound and her fantastic live show Selda starts her first international Club Tour in early 2009.
