Aug 5, 2025
NATIONWIDE - AUGUST 2025 - (USAnews.com) — Özgün Yurt and Senem Yurt’s musical journey has always been one of deep connection—both personally and creatively. Their shared love for music, honed over decades of experience, gave birth to Serenadname, their music group. The pair, initially distant despite collaborating in orchestras, found a spark when paired together in a salsa course, and it wasn’t long before they became a couple. Their marriage formed the bedrock for Serenadname, blending their love with their shared creative vision.
For nearly 25 years, Özgün and Senem have immersed themselves in music. In a unique creative process, they write, arrange, record, and produce all of their music without outside help. Though it is often a tiring endeavor, it remains incredibly rewarding for them. Each song, each note, reflects their shared passion and dedication to their art.
Their upcoming release, Unheard (Scream in Echoes), set to drop on August 29, represents a departure from their previous work. The song is an emotional exploration, delivered with a minimalist arrangement—just a single voice, a sparse piano, and strings. In its quiet moments, Unheard speaks volumes, offering listeners an intimate, raw experience. It’s a piece that goes beyond music, becoming a heartfelt whisper from the soul.

According to Özgün, Unheard is the result of both personal reflection and artistic freedom. "When you listen to Unheard, you’re hearing something deeply personal—a reflection of our hearts, stripped down to its essence," he shares. The song captures vulnerability, offering listeners an opportunity to experience those emotions through sound.
But before the release of Unheard, Serenadname will release another track, Before Summer Ends, on August 15. This song fuses country and pop, capturing the fleeting beauty of summer. For Özgün, country music has always been an integral part of his life. This track, with its nostalgic country-pop blend, is a reflection of that influence and a nod to the summer moments that slip away too quickly.
In addition to their music, Serenadname is passing the torch to the next generation. Their daughter, Masal, at just 9 years old, is already an accomplished pianist and violinist. She’s currently studying music theory and ear training. In 2025, she will release her first song, marking the next exciting phase of Serenadname's musical journey.
What distinguishes Serenadname is their seamless collaboration as a married couple, bringing two distinct creative minds into one unified vision. Their intimate understanding of each other’s artistic expressions has allowed them to craft music that is raw, authentic, and emotionally compelling. Their deep knowledge of music theory, instruments, and production technology has also given them complete control over their creative process, ensuring every sound is uniquely theirs.
"We don’t do this to make money. Music is our life," says Özgün. "It’s the reason we wake up every day, and it’s the reason we’ll continue writing and creating for as long as we can. We hope our music can touch hearts around the world, wherever those hearts may be."
With nearly 30 songs released in both English and Turkish, Serenadname continues to embrace music’s power to connect people across cultures and languages. Their work reflects a fusion of artistic expression and passion for the craft. Serenadname’s music transcends borders, delivering emotional truths that resonate with anyone who listens.
Their upcoming releases—Unheard (Scream in Echoes) and Before Summer Ends—are poised to mark another milestone in their creative journey. Their commitment to their craft remains unwavering, as they continue to create, perform, and share their music with the world.
