    Tarkan Tevetoğlu (born October 17, 1972), popularly known as Tarkan, is a successful World Music award-winning pop music singer in Turkey. He is also involved in producing music through his own music company HITT Music, which he established in 1997. He has released several platinum-selling albums during his career, with an estimated 15 million albums sold.[1] He is noted for his live stage performances. The Washington Post has compared Tarkan's effect on Turkey as analogous to Elvis in America circa 1957, while co-founder of Atlantic Records Ahmet Ertegün has described him as one of the best live performers he had ever seen.[2] Tarkan is one of the few European singers that has managed to span chart success over three continents without singing in English. Often cited as the Turkish Prince of Pop,[3] the German born singer has charted in Europe and in the Americas with the song "Şımarık" (Spoilt/Kiss Kiss/Chanson Du Bisou/Besos). As a result of its widespread success, Tarkan was listed by Rhapsody as a key artist in the history of European pop music, with his signature song as a keystone track that moved the genre forward.[4] Noted for Tarkan's kisses on the track, "Şimarık" was reincarnated as "Kiss Kiss" by Holly Valance after the composer Sezen Aksu sold the music rights, and has been covered by various artists across the world. Another successful Aksu collaboration was the hit single "Şıkıdım" (Shake).[5]
