One of the most striking voices of the contemporary scene, Lin Pesto will be at Babylon on February 11!
Lin Pesto is one of the most remarkable voices in Turkey’s contemporary alternative scene — a singer, songwriter, and producer who transforms fragility into art. Her music, which blends lo‑fi synth textures with a deeply personal narrative, moves between melancholy and a quiet sense of defiance. She first emerged in 2017 by anonymously releasing lo‑fi interpretations of Turkish pop classics, quickly becoming a cultural phenomenon for a generation seeking sincerity and experimentation.
After years of evolution, Lin Pesto steps into a new era with her 2025 album KABUL. Both introspective and expansive, this work brings together synth‑driven layers, subtle rhythms, and haunting, memorable melodies. On stage, she translates this inner world into a hypnotic experience using immersive visuals and a measured intensity. Positioned at the intersection of bedroom pop, trip‑hop, and new wave, Lin Pesto is one of those rare artists who feel both local and universal, timeless yet unmistakably rooted in the present.
