Hi! My name is Doga Uysal, I’m 22 years old, and I’m a singer and musician from Türkiye. I am currently studying Jazz & Pop Vocals at HKU Utrecht Conservatorium. Music has always been central in my life, and I’ve gained experience in styles ranging from jazz, funk, and pop to classical music and contemporary genres with Turkish influences.

Besides my studies, I’m an active performer and songwriter. I enjoy arranging music, working on interdisciplinary projects, and performing both individually and with my psychedelic ethnic pop/rock band “Rüyakâr,” where we combine traditional Turkish sounds with modern rock and experimental elements.

I started my journey with a classical music foundation, which gave me technical skills and musical knowledge that I still use today. After completing my classical training, I decided to focus on Jazz and Pop based music, expanding my musical versatility and exploring new paths. This combination allows me to teach a wide range of styles with a solid technical background.

In my lessons, the focus is on healthy technique, expression, trusting your intuitions, and confidence. We’ll explore vocal skills such as breathing, pitch, tone, range, and musicality, but also work on the emotional side of singing. I believe singing should feel liberating, playful, and personal.

Depending on your goals, I can also help with:

• Audition preparation

• Music theory (including AP-level exams)

• Exploring different musical styles (jazz, pop, funk, fusion, ethnic/Middle Eastern, and classical)

• Songwriting and interpretation

Together, we’ll work on songs that inspire you, while also developing your technique and stage presence. My aim is to create a supportive space where you can discover your own voice, trust your intuition, and build confidence as a singer and performer.

I have been teaching for several years, giving lessons in vocal technique, singing, audition training, and music theory. I love helping students grow, whether they are just beginning or already experienced, and I tailor every lesson to each student’s voice, goals, and personality.

Alongside teaching, I actively perform both individually with my own material and with my band Rüyakâr, blending Turkish traditional sounds with psychedelic rock and experimental textures. I have experience performing in concerts, ensembles, and interdisciplinary projects that combine music with film and visual arts. These experiences allow me to bring both technical knowledge and practical stage insight into my teaching, helping students develop confidence, performance skills, and a real understanding of how to succeed on stage.
