Canfırat Keskin was born on July 7, 1992, in Istanbul, Turkey. He is the son of Yasemin and Neşet Keskin, who met through their shared passion for folk dance. Growing up in a household surrounded by rhythm and movement, Canfırat was introduced to folk music and dance at the age of five, closely observing his father — a dedicated folk dance instructor — as he taught and performed.
During his early school years, Keskin expanded his artistic interests by joining theater and music groups, where he began to merge his love for performance and storytelling. In 2006, he was accepted into the Istanbul Technical University Turkish Music State Conservatory High School, where he studied string instruments. Later, during his university years, he transitioned to piano as his principal instrument, shaping the foundation of his professional musicianship.
In 2010, he founded King Sanat Evi, a music and dance academy that offered education in performing arts. Two years later, in 2012, he began working as an arranger at Lonplay Records Studio, where he met the band Funkalaturka, a collaboration that would later play a significant role in his career.
Between 2013 and 2016, Keskin was an active member of the Istanbul Technical University Musical Theater Ensemble, serving both as a musician and creative contributor to multiple stage productions. In 2015, he continued his professional journey as a junior music director at Adversion Advertising Agency, producing music for commercials and branded content, further broadening his range as a composer and producer.
In 2019, Canfırat relocated to Marmaris, Muğla, where he continues to pursue his solo career as a composer, performer, and producer. He regularly performs live, releases singles, and develops new musical projects under his creative brand, Panda Music House.
Today, Canfırat Keskin’s artistic path reflects a deep harmony between traditional roots and contemporary sound — a journey that bridges folk heritage, classical training, and modern music production.
