from the cradle.

his own show. Gökman would later go on to work as director as well as producer at some of the leading radio stations in Turkey. His resume includes stints working for Power FM, as well as time
spent lending his prodigious talents to entities within Nar and Power groups of radio stations.
Presently he lends his time working as Director for Pal Media. Given his vast and varied experiences in the music industry, it was hardly surprising that the restless artist soon began trying his hand at developing his own remixes and experimenting as a DJ.

Middle East.
