Her 2016 album, Arabesque , marked a significant creative moment. In it, she paid homage to the arabesque genre that she grew up with, performing covers of songs by icons like İbrahim Tatlıses, Müslüm Gürses, and Bülent Ersoy. She explained, "I think there's an arabesque part that everyone's hiding in a corner of their heart. I grew up with full arabesque songs". This album demonstrated her ability to honor traditional sounds while making them her own.
Her acting roles include significant parts in popular TV series such as Kaldırım Çiçeği (1996), Bize Ne Oldu (1999), Berivan (2002), Saklambaç (2005), Ahh İstanbul (2006), and Sevda'nın Bahçesi (2017). She also appeared on the big screen in the film Papatya ile Karabiber in 2004.
