Burhan Genç (pronounced [ˈbuɾhɑn ˈɟentʃ]) known as Burhan G (born 20 June 1983) is a Danish R&B and pop singer, songwriter and producer of Kurdish/Turkish origin from Turkey. His parents are Kurds from Haymana and they belong to the Shex Bizeni tribe. He has released three albums including Burhan G in 2010, certified platinum in Denmark. He has had many singles including two #1 hits, "Mest ondt" featuring Medina and "Tættere på himlen" featuring Nik & Jay.

Beginnings[link]

Burhan Genç lived in Brøndby Strand (Copenhagen County) 13 kilometers south-west of central Copenhagen and sang in the "Københavns Drengekor" (Copenhagen Boys Choir) as a solo soprano. He was also a backing singer for the popular Danish hip hop group Outlandish. The group originated from Brøndby Strand projects and Burhan G toured with the group as backing vocals and also delivered the chorus in the Outlandish hit "Walou" from their debut album Outland's Official. Collaborations followed with various other acts including Funk Flush, Cas and U$O.

Career[link]

Burhan G's solo debut was with the signature track "Burhan G", which was on P3 Radio's Uundgåelige in September 2003. On 24 May 2004, Burhan G released his debut album Playground on BMG, with a further track featured on Danish Radio P3's Uundgåelige with single "Take U Home". The album Playground got Burhan G nominated in 2005 to 3 categories in the Danish Music Awards. He won the award for Best Danish Newcomer. He was nominated for Danish P3 Radio's "P3 Prisen" and "P3 Gennembrudet" at P3 Guld ceremonies. Same year he won award for "Best Danish Album" at the Danish DeeJay Awards.

In March 2007, Burhan G signed with record label Copenhagen Records^[1] instead of BMG and on 10 September 2007 released with them his second album Breakout and a single from the album cowritten by Burhan G and Frederik Tao from Maximum Risk and entitled "Who Is He" became a hit.

In the summer of 2008, Burhan G released his new single "Kun dig" ("Only you"). It was written in collaboration with Claus Seest and produced by Majid and Saqib.^[2] The song was Burhan G's first hit in Danish followed by a Danish-language album, the self-titled Burhan G. This was followed by another successful single written in collaboration with Rasmus Seebach in Danish entitled "Jeg vil ha' dig for mig selv" ("I want you for myself") that heavily sampled Milli Vanilli's 1988 hit "Girl You Know It's True". Parts of the lyrics came from Nik & Jay's song "I Love Ya" and in November 2009, that version was released by Nik & Jay providing vocals.

In April 2010, Burhan G collaborated with Rasmus Seebach again alongside Sarah West and Nik & Jay.^[3] He explained in a press release that he chose to express himself in Danish, "because I love music and because I love all the different ways one can express oneself" claiming he was inspired by artists Kim Carnes and Sanne Salomonsen and Kim Larsen. This Danish venture proved quite well as it gave Burhan G his first ever Danish #1 in "Mest ondt" (translated as What hurts the most) released on 8 March 2010 and reaching the Tracklisten (Danish Singles Chart) top spot for 1 week. The single features the Danish singer Medina. The follow-up single "Tættere på himlen" featuring Nik & Jay also topped the charts for three weeks in October 2010. Both were certified platinum in addition to a preceding single "Jeg vil ha' dig for mig selv" also certified platinum. "Who Is He" and "Kun dig" singles have been certified gold in Denmark.
