Career
After six months of production time Levent published - together with Uzay heparins - his first album Med Cezir (1993 ), which was very successful with close to one million copies sold. Because of tragedies such as the death Uzays and difficult operations of Levent and Sertab he sat for two years from the music, to publish in 1996 his second album Levent Yüksel'in 2 CD'si. The album was co-produced by Onno Tunç, who died two days after its release. Reached its zenith Levent with its 1997 Single Bi ' Daha, whose lyrics came from Sezen Aksu. Somewhat less successful was his following albums Adı Menekse (1998), Aşkla (2001) and after a long pause Uslanmadım ( 2004).
