ABOUT ME

Hi!

My name is Öykü I am a New York based actor, singer, writer and musician who was born and raised in Istanbul, Turkey. I went to Istanbul State Conservatory for playing the oboe and learning music theory for ten years. In the meantime I was a child actress on the famous sitcom show Not In Front of The Kids (Çocuklar Duymasin) I grew up in the show starting at the age 7 until I was 16. Growing up in a sitcom set showed me different aspects of camera and TV which I fell in love with. 

I am currently getting my BFA in Acting at Pace University. While getting my acting education I am also focused on singing for my musical theatre career. I recently voiced the Disney Musical Wish in Turkish Dub and I still continue my musical theatre journey with various performances such as Rent The Musical!!

I have always been passionate about the classics and found myself at RADA and LAMDA in the UK to perform Shakespeare!!! I will go anywhere to tell amazing stories and I am so excited to see what will come next.
