Deniz Demirkurt is from Istanbul, Turkey, and is currently studying at Berklee College of Music as a singer-songwriter. She has struggled with eating disorders such as EDNOS and bulimia in the past; and although she still struggles with these issues
from time to time, she has come to a place in her life where she learned not to let mental illness control her. Deniz wants to positively influence people through her stories and music, and help them realize that they’re not alone in struggling, and that things will get better.

Deniz shares her song in the This Is My Brave Boston 2017 show.
