Kadir Yucel is a progressive electronic and progressive rock musician. Born in Istanbul, Turkey and moved to New York on 1998.

Kadir had an irrepressible drive to make music. As a child he used to sing while dreaming, and he made his own drum sets out of everything he could find. He later spent his formative years in New York City and Woodstock NY, and now counting Buenos Aires and the San Francisco Bay Area as his homes, Kadir takes his musical inspiration from whatever is in the moment, around him, and within him.

His music is heavily influenced by his beginnings with percussion instruments and drums, steeped in the complex rhythms of his childhood surroundings in Istanbul. Kadir takes this rhythmic drive and translates it into exotic synthesizer and guitar riffs, blended together in an otherworldly dream music that’s part angry, part sad, and part hopeful.
