The man behind hits ‘Tung’, ‘Hertz’, ‘Bong’, ‘Follow You’, and more, fell in love with music at age 5 when he discovered a piano. That eventually led to DJ and production hardware, second-hand synths, drum machines and dissecting the music of Depeche Mode, Daft Punk, Kraftwerk and others.

Music Alliance member Deniz Koyu exploded onto the scene in 2011with ‘Tung’ and ‘Hertz’ and now Fedde Le Grand, Sebastian Ingrosso, Axwell, Tiësto, Avicii, Alesso, Erick Morillo, David Guetta and Calvin Harris numbered among his biggest fans.

In 2016, Deniz introduced new sounds and genres releasing music under the alias KO:YU .His ‘alternative’ sounds, crossed over to dance and pop, earning new fans with new tracks ‘Trippy’, ‘Don’t Wait’ (feat Example) and ‘15 Sleeps’ released on prestigious labels including Sony and Tiësto’s Musical Freedom. He later collaborated with Nicky Romero on the groundbreaking track ‘Paradise’.
