Born on December 25, 1979, in Ankara, Turkey, Akgül’s musical journey began at an early age and he rose to fame as the vocalist and primary lyricist of MaNga, which was formed in 2001. The band achieved international renown when they represented Turkey at the Eurovision Song Contest in 2010, finishing in second place with their hit song "We Could Be the Same".
