About the Music

"Boom Sheke Nana" written by award-winning songwriter and singer, Sinem Saniye, is an edgy, sexy, middle-eastern/dance flavoured pop song about anxiety and overcoming your deepest fears. The song has already garnered much attention, especially when it won the Grand Prize in the 2006 International John Lennon Songwriting Competition, snatching the top prize in its category. Out of nearly 20,000 worldwide applicants, -including both amateur and professional songwriters-, this was quite a feat!

As a result, Sinem and the song were featured on CNN in Turkey, in national press and magazine articles, and garnered more TV exposure in Europe. The song went on to win the coveted 2007 Lennon Award, 2008 Billboard World Song Contest 2nd Place prize, Honorable Mentions, and Finalist in the 11th International Unisong Song Contest.
