Artist Spotlight: Bartu from Istanbul (Seven Hills)

18

What’s your stage name and where are you from?
Hai, I’m Bartu, and I’m from Istanbul, aka Seven Hills.

What’s the story behind your stage name?
My stage name is actually my real name. I guess I always fancied my name and just figured it’d be a great name for my music.

Describe your musical journey in three sentences.
At first, I started creating for love. Then I stuck in it because of the pain. Now it became a passion.

 

Share an interesting experience you had while creating your latest track.
While recording the verse for “LUV ME NOW,” my cousin, who’s 9, was in the booth. I started swearing, so she tried to hush my mouth with her hands while I was trying to rap. That part kind of delayed the whole process.

What message do you want to convey through your music?
I want everyone around the world to realize that wherever they’re from or whoever they are, they can achieve whatever they have in their minds for themselves.

Tell us about a challenge you faced during production and how you overcame it.
A challenge I faced was my mic falling down (rookie mistake), probably because it wasn’t stable enough. Then it started glitching, and it was pretty hard to fix that, so I guess that was a challenge.

 

If you could collaborate with any artist, who would it be and why?
I think it would be Tyler, the Creator. He always seems like a fun guy to have a studio sesh with.

Where do you see your music taking you in the next year?
I foresee that I’ll have at least one song in Billboard’s Top 50 chart by the end of this year.

What’s the next big step for you as an artist?
I think the next big step for me is to make connections with producers and artists all around the world.
