Dance-pop
Dance-popPopRhythm and blues

Tarkan is a Dance-pop and Pop act. Their catalogue also touches Rhythm and blues. Their sound grew out of Ozan Doğulu, Emre Aydın, Haluk Levent, Sezen Aksu and Adassa. Those roots explain a lot about how Tarkan arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Kenan Doğulu, Hande Yener, Sertab Erener, Sezen Aksu and Levent Yüksel, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Holly Valance, Sibel Can, Philipp Kirkorov, Murat Boz and Tales of the Inexpressible, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 24 connections around Tarkan, reaching back through Ozan Doğulu and forward to Holly Valance.
