Life and career

Kalben, who started to become interested in music by playing her mother's keyboard at the age of 8, had her first guitar at the age of 14. She has an older half-brother.

She graduated from Bilkent University, Department of International Relations, in 2007, with a scholarship. After trying to work in various fields, she started studying for her master's degree in Media Design and Cultural Studies at the same university in 2008 and graduated in 2011. She then moved to Istanbul to find a job. She started to work as a brand manager at Universal Pictures. Afterwards, she was busy with various works such as scriptwriting, editing, project managing, and translating.

She rarely continued to play music and held occasional concerts in Ankara and Istanbul. Her "Sadece" video, which was published in October 2014 on Sofar Sounds, became among the most watched Sofar videos in a short time.
