Nil Karaibrahimgil

Nil Karaibrahimgil (born 17 October in Ankara, Turkey), also popularly known simply as Nil (Turkish for the Nile), is a Turkish singer and songwriter mostly noted for her distinct lyrics. Nil's passion and admiration for music stems from her father, Suavi Karaibrahimgil, who is also a musician although he is not currently active in the Turkish music industry. In 2000, she graduated from Bogaziçi University with a degree in Political Science and International Relations. She also further received the Crystal Apple prize award twice, which recognized her achievements in advertising. Besides academic success, Nil has found fortune in the Turkish music scene. Many of her songs deal with love, marriage and relationships. On January 21, 2010, she married Sertab Erener's brother Serdar Erener near the shore of the Nile River. She has a son Aziz Arif, born in May 2014.

Up to 2007, Nil has managed to release 3 successful albums along with several singles of her own here and there. In 2002, her debut album "Nil Dünyasi" brought her into the spotlight with hits that included "Kek" and "XL". Two years later, Nil followed with another album called "Nil FM" which achieved success similar to that of her first album. Some of the hit singles released from that album included "Gitme Yoksa...", "Akbaba", "Ben Aptal Miyim?" and "Bronzlasmak" as well.

In 2006, Nil would go on to release her third album called "Tek Tasimi Kendim Aldim". The album brought Nil further success with hits including "Pirlanta", "Peri" and of course, "Organize Isler Bunlar" which is the original soundtrack of the movie Organize Isler. All of the three singles from this album managed to easily top most Turkish charts. In late 2006, Nil released a single called, "Yas 18" (Age 18) which is one of the two tracks she recorded for the soundtrack of the Turkish movie Sinav (Exam). Both the movie and the song deal with the pressure Turkish students face preparing for matriculation, as well as angst from coming of age.
