About

Deniz Koloğlu was born in Ankara in 1978 and grew up in Istanbul. After high school, she studied journalism for one year at Akademi İstanbul and graduated from Istanbul University's Department of French Language and Literature. She began her radio career in 2001 at Radyo Kozmos 92.3 and continued working in production, programming, management, and radio-music broadcasting at Açık Radyo and Radyo Babylon. Cazır Cazır, which started in 2001 at the booth of Karga Bar, continued as a radio program on Açık Radyo from 2004 to 2016. In 2008, she briefly worked as a copywriter at Works. With Utkan Çınar, she founded the group "utkan la deniz" in 2010, and for five years they created and performed their own music. In 2014, the radio program she produced with Hasan Ersel and Ali Pınar for the centennial of Cemal Reşit Rey's birth (Açık Radyo, 2004) was published as a book (Pan Yayıncılık). In 2015, the book Polis Destan Yazdı, Gezi'den Şiddet Tanıklıkları, which she prepared with Didem Gençtürk, Gözde Kazaz, İlksen Mavituna, and Saner Şen, was published (İletişim Yayınları, 2015). In spring 2016, she took an indefinite break from radio and music presentation. Her professional work with audio content gained a new dimension in 2017 when she joined the Yodiviki audio content platform. In January 2020, she returned to Açık Radyo, this time as event coordinator and audio archive editor, but her role ended prematurely due to covid-19. She occasionally does voice-over work. Her interviews are published in various media, sometimes in written form and sometimes in audio. Alongside these pursuits, she is interested in photography.
