Mahir Bora Kayıhan
He began his music career in 1997 with a 8-track demo titled Trans. In the same year, he started working as a music writer for Şebek HMF (Köprüaltı) magazine, marking the beginning of his journalism career.

In the early 2000s, he contributed intro and outro compositions to compilation albums released in Turkey, Germany, and the Netherlands, and published various singles on the digital music platforms of the time.

In 2025, he founded Bera Kolektif, through which he produced music across pop, rock, deep house, and arabesque styles. In 2026, his works with the collective were released across all major digital streaming platforms.

With his solo project mahir-bora, he revisited his early compositions from 1997 and released the album Demo 1997 on digital platforms. The album includes 17 tracks in total, 8 previously released and 9 published for the first time.

Mahir Bora is also developing a long-term project based on a “musical novel” concept.
