Şebnem Farah’s childhood
Şebnem Ferah’s interest in music started when she was 5-6 years old, and her family played an essential role in her entry into music. Since almost all members of Farah’s family are involved in music and there is music in every corner of the house, he was introduced to the market fully prepared and knowledgeable about music.
He started taking mandolin and solfege lessons from elementary school and performed as a soloist in the school orchestra. She studied high school as a boarding student at the private Namık Sözeri High School in Bursa, and these courses helped Şebnem Ferah to know herself and stand on her own two feet.
Şebnem Ferah’s musical life continued with school orchestras and small groups. Farah, who worked with her group “Pegasus” during high school, dreamed of a girl group; thanks to a studio that opened in Bursa in the mid-80s, she met Sedat Yıldırım Sarica and realized this dream with Volvox. He learned—a group he founded in 1988. To be more interested in music, he left the economics department of METU in the second year of his studies, and after coming to Istanbul, he enrolled in the English language and literature department of Istanbul University.
After the dissolution of the Volvox Group in 1994, Şebnem Farah started her career. He opened a new page in his musical life by meeting Onno Tonch and Sezen Aksu.

Şebnem Farah said in an interview.
These are things we all live or will experience. Of course, accepting death is not easy, and it is not a topic that can be explained very briefly. But it is part of life. One learns something every day, and life has such a strange balance that it goes on whether you like it. And you grow more robust in the fragility. I don’t believe that vulnerability comes later; maybe it increases because of some factors. But I think everyone is a little fragile; everyone is a little sensitive.
