Born Bilgin Özçalkan on 31 December 1976, he adopted the name Ceza and built a career as a rapper, singer, and songwriter in Turkey. The name itself - meaning "punishment" - signaled the sharpness he brought to the form. Over time, that choice of alias became inseparable from his work, anchoring his presence in Turkish hip-hop and giving his output a through-line of confrontation and clarity.
