Early Life And Education

Fatih Karaca, known as Mabel Matiz, was born on August 31, 1985, in Erdemli, Mersin, Turkey, to Ali Karaca, a truck driver and Cyprus veteran, and Maya Karaca, a homemaker.

After completing high school in Mersin, he pursued dentistry at Istanbul University, graduating in 2008 and briefly practicing before music’s inexorable pull prevailed. His stage name, inspired by Buket Uzuner’s novel and Greek slang for “drunk,” crystallized during these formative years.

Career

Matiz’s musical odyssey began in 2008 with Myspace demos, catching producer Engin Akıncı’s ear and yielding his 2011 self-titled debut album via Esen Müzik, largely self-composed.

His sophomore effort, Yaşım Çocuk (2013, DMC), featured hits like “Zor Değil” and a Yıldız Tilbe cover, earning Milliyet Sanat’s Album of the Year.

Subsequent releases—Gök Nerede (2015), Maya (2018, a tribute to his mother), Fatih (2023), and Aklıselim (2025)—cemented his lyrical prowess, with singles like “Öyle Kolaysa” and the controversial “Perperişan” (2025) sparking societal discourse.

Collaborations with Aleyna Tilki and soundtrack contributions for films like Girls of the Sun (2018) amplified his reach. By 2025, over a billion streams, sold-out tours, and LGBTI+ advocacy—despite a 2025 obscenity probe—underscore his cultural impact.
