Utku Biroğlu, born in 1989 in Paris, the capital of France, returned permanently to İzmir in 1996, experiencing a childhood infused with cultural diversity. After completing his education in İzmir, he worked as a professional animator in leading centers of the tourism sector (Antalya, Bodrum, Çeşme, Fethiye) between 2004 and 2010, enhancing his talent in the stage and entertainment sector as well as his communication skills with the audience.
Transition to Professional Music Career
In 2010, after ending his tourism career, Utku Biroğlu transferred his experience in the entertainment sector to various organizations in Istanbul. In 2012, he returned to his hometown Izmir and laid the foundations of his music life. He gained recognition by performing at many venues in the city with a cover band named COSY, which he formed with İdil Taneri, Umut Yumurtacı, and Murat Güçlü in İzmir Alsancak.
In 2015, the artist left COSY and founded the band Lapsus with Açelya Sakarya, Hüseyin Balcı, and Ozan Kurt. With this band, he continued cover performances and began to showcase his first original compositions. Lapsus held a series of successful concerts in many cities, especially in İzmir.
Production Power: Collaboration of KU2 PRODUCTION and ARGO
A turning point in the artist's career was establishing his own studio named KU2 PRODUCTION in İzmir Göztepe in 2014. By recording and arranging with various artists in this studio, he strengthened his identity as a producer and arranger in the music industry.
Between 2017 and 2020, being part of Gazapizm's orchestra, one of Turkey's most important Hip-Hop figures, became one of the most significant proofs of Utku Biroğlu's musical competence and reputation in the industry. He also played an active role in various vocal and instrumental recordings under ARGO İzmir.
