Ece Dorsay is a unique, alternative female singer/songwriter from Turkey, Istanbul.

Born in 1979, she studied English Literature in Bogazici University and French Literature in NDS French HighSchool.

She was drawing comics and was exposed to many good movies as a child because her father is the first and most established movie critic in Turkey.

Her debut album "Kum Saati" (HourGlass) was released in 2002 from Universal Turkey. Her second album entitled “Kırmızı Karanlık” (Red Darkness) was released in 2010.

Her video entitled “Kırmızı Karanlık” (Red Darkness) was a revolutionary one, especially in a country like Turkey, depicting the passionate love of two women. She wrote weekly columns in alternative press and worked for LGBT rights.
