When Bora was sixteen, he received an irresistible call from the world of music. He knew right then that he wanted to commit his life to exploring the different realms of sound and frequency. At age seventeen he was awarded a prestigious scholarship to the Rotterdam Conservatoire of Music. Following his jazz education in Holland, he returned to Turkey to lead the four-piece funk and soul band Kangroove to fame in a music scene unaccustomed to this genre. Kangroove became a worldwide phenomenon touring a number of major festivals and opening for world renowned acts such as The Black Eyed Peas, James Brown and The Cardigans.

During his career he has resided in New York, Atlanta, Los Angeles, London, Hamburg and Stockholm producing and performing music. In 2002 he secured a publishing deal with EMI Germany for Europe and then with EMI North America for the rest of the world. Following that he accepted a deal offered by Songphonic Records in the UK and toured the UK in 2005 as a support act for Beverly Night.

In 2009, he went on to release his solo project entitled B1 with Doublemoon Productions. Four singles from this album made the top 100 radio charts. This led him to be appointed by Nike as the “Icon of the City: Istanbul”.
