Oneblood

Oneblood (real name Birkan Özdemir) is a musician and songwriter born in Nicosia on April 21, 1994. His passion for music has been an inseparable part of his life since childhood, and he has always seen music as a means of escape.

In 2006, inspired by the cassette tapes of foreign Hip-Hop artists, Oneblood began developing his own hip-hop rhythm and started writing his first lyrics in 2008. He successfully blended Trap, Hip-Hop, Reggaeton, Afrobeat, and Alternative music styles in his compositions and began recording demos in 2010.

In 2012, he achieved a milestone in his career by winning the “Freestyle King” competition at the Cyprus Hip Hop Jam Festival. This success sparked his passion for recording and motivated him to pursue a professional music career. Between 2012 and 2014, Oneblood worked tirelessly on creating and recording numerous songs to discover his unique style.

In 2015, he took his first steps into the professional music scene and released his debut solo album, “Zahmetli Düşler”, in 2017. In 2019, he transitioned to digital platforms with his first two singles, “Lera” and “Gavvole”, which garnered significant attention.

In 2020, his singles “Bak Genne”, “Yanalım”, “Yol Yok”, “Hade”, and “Yak” made a substantial impact in Cyprus, collectively surpassing 1,000,000 streams on digital platforms.

In 2021, Oneblood continued to release singles such as “Çakulet”, “Dillirga”, and “Bubble Up”, embracing Cypriot culture and language while showcasing his distinctive style. His productivity and success earned him the title of “Best Rap Artist of the Year” at the B/POP Cyprus and Turkey Culture and Arts Awards.

In 2022, he released four singles, including “Okay”, “Stalk”, “Benimnan Derdin Ne”, and “Nesdersan Yap”, as well as the “Düştüm Gözünden” EP, marking another significant achievement in his music career.

In 2023, Oneblood released the single “Valhalla” across all digital platforms and established his own music label, MAGNUS MUSIC ENTERTAINMENT, in July, opening a new chapter in his career.

In 2024, Oneblood maintained his creativity by releasing six new singles: “Veremem Hesap”, “Çatlad Genne”, “Dön Bana”, “Sorma”, “Tabba Lamarina”, and “El Alem”. These singles once again highlighted his powerful and unique style.
