BARIS AKARSU
'' BARIS'S MEMORIAL WEEK / BARIS AKARSU CULTURE and
ART FESTIVAL ''
( 29 JUNE - 4 JULY / AMASRA - TURKEY )
BARIS's OFFICIAL WEB SITE :
www.baris-akarsu.com
BARIS AKARSU was born on the 29th of June 1979 in Zonguldak from the happy marriage of his mother
Hatice Akarsu with his father Selahattin Akarsu. He has a sister named Nesrin. Akarsu family named
him BARIS which means PEACE and in his father's own words : ''He had this name to bring peace to the
country and to the whole world, which is more and more needed''. He and his sister, Nesrin, grew up
in Amasra, Turkey, where the family moved soon after his birth. Akarsu’s parents still live in
Amasra.
BARIS completed his elementary, secondary and high-school educations in Amasra.
When he was in high-school, he was a fond of sailing and he decided to do this sport professionally
in Amasra Sailing Club.
His interest in music was started in the early ages of his short life that was full-of-love and
breadth.
He used to point out that he remembered himself walking on the streets of Amasra with the
block-flute in his hand when he was in the elementary school.
However, his real acquaintance with music was with the influence of the musicians who used to come
to Amasra for live performances and this is when he started to play the guitar and the harmonica.
Cem Karaca, Ruhi Su were the artists who were continuosly listened in the home of Akarsu Family.
Starting from those days, BARIS AKARSU continues to listen the rock, hard-rock and heavy-metal
groups of the 70s and 80s and he has continued to do so until the end of his short life.
Amasra is well-known with it's beaches and natural settings.
Beaches of Amasra were the first places where he learned to play guitar with his friends and made
his first stage debut also took place on the same venue.
After graduating from high school, BARIS also worked as an animator and as a musician in Antalya.
Later he performed at clubs/bars, local televisions and radios in Ankara and Karadeniz Ereglisi for
a period of 4 years. Then, he decided to go back to Amasra.
It was this period of time when BARIS AKARSU returned to Amasra and when several of his friends
encouraged him to participate in the 2004 debut of the reality television program called Akademi
Türkiye (The contestants are selected through auditions nation-wide. They stayed in a house called
“Akademi” and spend their whole time practicing songs, acting and other activities that are
related to perform music.)
BARIS decided to apply because he saw an opportunity to get trained by professional trainers. In
July 2004 BARIS won the highly publicized “Akademi Turkiye” and together with this, he fell into
the hearts of the millions in Turkey not only as a musician, singer and performer, but also with
his wonderful character and always-friendly behaviours for every one he met.
Soon after winning Akademi Turkiye, BARIS released his first album “Islak Islak” and on August
2006, he released his second album “Düsmeden Bulutlarda Kosmam Gerek” both produced by Seyhan
Music. He has music videos for his songs “Islak Islak”, “Kimdir O”, “Mavi” and
“Amasra” from his first album.
He also has music videos for his songs “Vurdum En Dibine Kadar” and “Yaz Demedim” from his
second album.
“Ben” and “Yeter Be” from his second album were written and composed by him.
During 2006, BARIS was the lead-role actor in the television serial named “Yalanci Yarim” (which
was broadcasted all year long and continued during 2007 until we lost him with one of the most
unfortunate car accidents took place in Bodrum) and at the same time he gave many live concerts in
several parts of the country and with every day passing, he added thousands of fans from all age
groups. He also gave many charity concerts for the children of leukemia for whom BARIS cared so much
and tried to provide them the best he could.
He has a lot of fans whom called themselves BAG ( = The Ones Who Understand BARIS). They have
supported him since he joined the Akademi Türkiye. BARIS called them : ''My big loving family''.
It is still hard to believe that we have lost him... We have lost a wonderful musician, performer
and we lost the future number-one rock star... but above all, we lost a great man, a wonderful
person, a benevolent, breadth human-being !
We lost the person with a personality that is very rare to find and impossible to be replaced and
his absence will always be felt.
We lost him on 4th of July 2007 after 5 days of deep coma in Private Bodrum Hospital which he was
brought after having a car accident on the same day he was born and on the way to his 29th birthday
party in Bodrum.
Millions prayed for him to survive while he was in coma in the hospital for five days after the
car-accident.
But we lost him !
We lost him while he was getting ready for his third album and when he was planning to make his
place certain on the top !
Thousands of people attended his funeral in Amasra ... thousands of people cried after him while
millions of people were sharing the same feelings while watching his funeral on the Television.
Rest in Peace BARIS !
Maybe you lived a very short life and maybe there were many things you planned to do.
However, you have showed to everyone all of the ethical values which people seemed to forget.
You have been the best sample for everyone !
Thank you for all you have done and thank you for the values you have showed and added to our
lives.
We will never forget you BARIS !
We will always remember you with your smiling face !
WE LOVE YOU...

TRIBUTE FOR 19-11-09
♥*•♥ One Gift♥*•♥
One gift, above all others
God gives to us to treasure
One that knows no time, no place
And one gold cannot measure
♥•*♥*•♥^♥• *♥*•♥
The precious, poignant tender gift
Of Memory...that will keep
Of dear ones ever in our hearts
Although God gives them sleep
♥•*♥*•♥^♥• *♥*•♥
It brings back long remembered things
A song, a word, a smile
And the world's a better place
...because
We had them for awhile!
♥•*♥*•♥^♥• *♥*•♥
TRIBUTE FOR 20-11-09
The pain we feel inside today
Is the pain we try to hide,
For no one will ever know
The tears i cry inside.
♥•*♥*•♥^♥• *♥*•♥
It seems like only yesterday
The wound is still so sore.
For every hour of every day
We miss you more and more
For you are someone special
And think the world of you.
♥•*♥*•♥^♥• *♥*•♥
TRIBUTE FOR 21-11-09
Missing You
♥•*♥*•♥^♥• *♥*•♥
I just can't believe it
The sun still sets and rises.
The moon and stars still shine.
The flowers still bloom,
The birds still sing.
I expected a change in everything...
♥•*♥*•♥^♥• *♥*•♥
I just can't believe it.
It still gets dark and light.
The ocean still has waves,
The rain still rains,
The wind still blows.
Is it because they do not know?
♥•*♥*•♥^♥• *♥*•♥
I just can't believe it.
I thought the world would stop,
When in the house I found
An empty chair,
A missing smile.
I thought it would stop
For just a while.
I just can't believe it....
♥•*♥*•♥^♥• *♥*•♥
TRIBUTE FOR 22-11-09
♥•*♥*•♥^♥• *♥*•♥
You gave us love
And lots more,
We have so much
To thank you for,
Silent thoughts,
Memories deep,
Locked in our hearts
For ever to keep.
♥•*♥*•♥^♥• *♥*•♥
♥•*♥*•♥^♥• *♥*•♥
I wish you all a very peaceful weekend my friend
With love as always Linda.xxx

WITH LOVE.XXX
*• ♥ .•**•.. ♥ .•**•.. ♥ .•**•.. ♥ •*
When you feel you miss me most,
As time goes drifting by,
Each memory will prove to you,
That love can never die,
That while I left you far too soon,
I did not go alone,
For the Father sent his Angels,
To gently guide me home,
Take comfort when you think of me,
Keep my love deep within your Heart,
And with the warmth of each memory,
We will never be apart.
*• ♥ .•**•.. ♥ .•**•.. ♥ .•**•.. ♥ •*
Love as always,Lynn.xxx
Lord Alfred Tennyson
Dark house, by which once more I stand
Here in the long unlovely street,
Doors, where my heart was used to beat
So quickly, waiting for a hand,
A hand that can be clasp'd no more—
Behold me, for I cannot sleep,
And like a guilty thing I creep
At earliest morning to the door.
He is not here; but far away
The noise of life begins again,
And ghastly thro' the drizzling rain
On the bald street breaks the blank day.
Create an ever lasting memorial for your loved ones.
