SAM 6

Being the youngest child of a Cherkessian-Turkish family and born in spring 1991 in Vienna, Austria, I explored early, that I have to consider for myself what I was about to become. My looks are rather multicultural and onlookers tend to figure out what my background might be. The spectrum reaches from Western European to Brazilian and hardly anybody guesses right. At the beginning I learnt to sit for a painter followed by a series of photographs and a portfolio for application to some of the most well known agencies. Soon I started to experience first successes. My first performance on the catwalk was at KIF 07, a Viennese model show for Kids for Fashion followed by a show in a Viennese Theatre as “Monsieur Marquis” in the burlesque „The Talisman“, written by Johann Nestroy, which brought me unexpected success. These first steps into the glamour world encouraged me to aspire towards higher goals. For the short term I would like to perform in theatre plays or films but middle-term I would like to take a career in the fashion sector, which means I want to succeed in advertising well known brands.
