Hi, this is Chili! I am a musician, producer and arranger born in Istanbul and based in Berlin.

I just finished my debut EP that is of epic proportions.

All is being taken care of and set for release in April 2026. Everything would be smooth if there wasn't a huge roadblock:

Having included a song that is written by Aşık Veysel, I got in touch with the publishing and they are asking for 2000 Euro flat fee (edit: they kindly offered a reduced price of 1700 EUR, so i updated the financial goal).

Normally Id go busking or get a job, but I have a deadline until end of january 2026 and they are not offering any installments or alternative for me to make it happen.

The song 'Uzun ince bir yoldayım' plays a crucial role in the body of work. Songs are flowing into each other and the arrangements are carefully crafted. If I take 'Uzun ince' out the planned momentum of the EP falls apart, as it is situated between to other songs.

I was under the impression that the song's publishing rights expired as it is quite old (nobody even knows it release date according to wikipedia) but found out that this is not the case and trying hard to not panic and find a solution.

I am asking for your help and hope that a miracle happens. I promise the music is worth it.

Thank you for taking the time ❤️

Love,

Chili

PS: i will be donating myself as i get jobs in etc.
