Musical Globe

Seventeen year old Karsu Dönmez, the Dutch answer to Norah Jones, is talented jazz singer-songwriter, who grew up in a Turkish family in Amsterdam. Full of passion she sings and plays piano in her parents’ Turkish restaurant. At night, she composes her music in absolute silence. Although her songs seem to reveal a soulful intensity, Karsu refuses to sing about her private life. Initially her parents, who grew up with traditional Turkish music, had to get accustomed to her music. But now they are proud of their beautiful daughter: they support and protect her and when she is invited to perform at Carnegie Hall in New York, the entire family accompanies her there.
