Ruz

**Ruz** is a Turkish singer-songwriter who emerged in the late 2010s with a laid-back blend of indie pop and emotive alt-rock. Known for his conversational lyrics and relatable storytelling, he crafts tracks that feel like late-night chats with friends—tracks like "Yellow Hoodie," "Pink Hat," and "Lemonade" mix catchy hooks with everyday observations about love, youth, and small-town life. His music often pairs breezy melodies with introspective themes, creating a vibe that’s equal parts carefree and contemplative.

While Ruz keeps his personal life private, his recent releases—including the fan-favorite "Duygusuz" and the cheekily titled "Steve"—showcase his knack for turning mundane moments into anthems. With a growing fanbase in Turkey and beyond, he’s carved out a space as a Gen Z-friendly artist who thrives on simplicity, both in his stripped-back production and his underdog persona.
