Sezen Aksu (born 13 July 1954) is a pop music singer and songwriter, popular both with a mass audience in Turkey, and with world music fans internationally.

Sezen Aksu was born in Saraykoy/Denizli, Turkey and began to study at the local agricultural institute, but gave up her studies to concentrate on music full time. She released her first single, Haydi Şansım/Gel Bana (Come on My Luck/Come to Me) in 1975. However, she remained undiscovered until her 1976 single Olmaz Olsun/Vurdumduymaz (Wish It Never Happened/Insensitive) reached number one in the Turkish charts. Her first album was 1978’s Serçe (Sparrow), which gave her also her nickname.

In the coming years, Aksu also acted in two movies and opened a live music club in Istanbul. Her music throughout these years remained conventional, but melodic pop, perhaps best exemplified by Gülümse (Smile) of 1991.

In 1995, Aksu branched out with the experimental album Işık Doğudan Yükselir (The Sun Rises in the East), drawing both on western classical and regional Turkish musical traditions. This album made her name outside Turkey and gave her a devoted world music following across Europe.

She has collaborated with many other musicians, such as Tarkan and Sertab Erener, resulting in continental hits like Simarik.
