Develer is an Istanbul-based band formed in 2019 by Niko Doğu (melodic percussion), Naci Oğuz (electric and fretless guitars), and Muaz Ceyhan (tanbur, çağlama). Over time, the group expanded with Esmani Kılıç (percussion), Mert Can Dursun (piano), Kerem Duru (drums), Salih Eren Kurç (bass guitar), and Cenk Bonfil (piano), shaping the band’s current lineup.

Blending diverse musical backgrounds with an exploratory approach, Develer moves fluidly across genres and textures. Many of their compositions emerge from rehearsals and live improvisations, gradually taking their final form on stage.

Following the release of their debut LP “Fauna” and earlier singles “Hasat Zamanı” and “Blueshift,” the band has performed on various stages and festivals across Istanbul and other cities in Turkey, while gradually reaching toward an international audience.
