Erdinç Ecevit Yıldız is a Turkish musician best known as vocalist and bağlama player for Anatolian rock band Altin Gün.
Music Career
In 2016, Erdinç responded to an ad posted on Facebook by Jasper Verhulst who was seeking to form a psychedelic Turkish folk band. Erdinç was recruited to the band as one of two lead vocalists of Turkish origin - the other being Merve Daşdemir. The band would become known as Altın Gün, which means "Golden Day" in Turkish.
The band has released four studio albums since their debut album in 2018. In 2019, their sophomore album, Gece was nominated for the 62nd Annual Grammy Awards (2019) in the Best World Music Album category.

At a 2019 show in Ontario, Erdinç performed with broken ribs after suffering a frisbee accident. [4]
