In 2016, a Turkish-Dutch DJ released a track that went to No. 1 in more than 80 countries, accumulated over 820 million YouTube views, and became the 10th most Shazam’d song in the world. “Tuesday” by Burak Yeter featuring Danelle Sandoval was one of the defining club moments of the mid-2010s, and its creator — a classically trained musician with a Master’s degree in Sound Engineering and a career spanning three decades — is available to book through Poise Artists for events worldwide.
Burak Yeter was born on 5 May 1982. He learned classical piano at age 5 and guitar at 8 — an unusually rigorous musical foundation for someone who would become one of Europe’s most successful club DJs. After studying civil engineering at Akdeniz University in Turkey, he relocated to London and earned his Master’s degree in Sound Engineering from SAE Institute. He began DJing professionally at 16 and won the MTV Dance Heat DJ Contest. In 2008, he signed a contract with Pioneer and opened DJ schools in Amsterdam, Istanbul, and Los Angeles, giving professional education. Burak Yeter is the CEO of Connection Records DJ Academy and has developed nearly 3,000 certified students to this day.
“Tuesday” was a bigger success than any previous release, reaching the No. 1 slot on a number of charts globally and was the 10th most Shazam’d song worldwide in 2017. It was certified Platinum in Austria, France, Germany, and Switzerland, among other countries, and has accumulated over 820 million YouTube views. Following “Tuesday,” Yeter released “My Life Is Going On” featuring Cecilia Krull from Netflix’s La Casa de Papel, which also hit No. 1 in multiple countries. Burak Yeter has also become the first DJ in the world to perform in the stratosphere
, as part of his “One Day In Space” project — a testament to his ambition as an artist and innovator.
Before “Tuesday” made him a global name in his own right, Burak Yeter had already built an exceptional production résumé, creating remixes for Depeche Mode, Black Eyed Peas, Alicia Keys, Usher, Bruno Mars, Sam Smith, and Beyoncé. His releases are distributed through Spinnin’ Records and Armada Music, two of the most respected dance labels in the world.
