Ödül & Funkalaturka

In 2013, while working at a recording studio, Canfırat Keskin crossed paths with the band Funkalaturka. With his musical energy and creativity, he quickly caught the group’s attention. In January 2014, he officially joined the band, bringing a new sense of dynamism to its sound through his stage performances and musical arrangements.

Together with Funkalaturka, he performed numerous concerts across Turkey and appeared on various television programs and live performance broadcasts. Within the group, he played an active role in original projects blending elements of funk, jazz, and Anatolian melodies.
