Cenk Sanlioglu has been actively involved in the music industry since 2000; playing electric, classical, acoustic, and baritone guitars. His great admiration for all folk music around the world has been the most important factor shaping his guitar and composition skills. His passion for bringing folk musics together, merging the music of different cultures and creating new sounds are the most distinctive features of his musical identity.

Cenk's musical journey is spread over three main areas:

Movies and TV Series Composition: Cenk has composed for over 35 Movies and TV series that have been screened in Turkey and around the world. He has been involved in major projects such as long-running series and award-winning films and More than 140 of his works in this field are protected by copyright.

Festivals and Concerts: Cenk has performed on stage with various groups around the world. He has given concerts in cities such as Zurich, Paris, Cologne, Brussels, Amsterdam, Vienna, London, Dubai, Samarkand, Erbil and New Delhi. His performances include different experiences such as being a guitarist in the team of Sami Yusuf, who has more than 45 million album sales and giving concerts at the Le Guess Who festival in Europe. These experiences have given him the opportunity to work with musicians in different music styles and to experience the music of different cultures live, which has improved both his film composition skills and his guitar skills. Cenk is still attending concerts in Europe, Asia and the Middle East.

Arrangement and Studio Works: Cenk has performed guitar on more than 50 music albums. In addition, he has composed special pieces for albums, arranged folk music and played the role of both music director and arranger during the recording process of various jingles and albums.

On the baritone guitar, he developed a new type of instrument by combining the strings of three different instruments and using a different tuning system. With this special baritone guitar variation, he has reached a sound range not found in any string instrument in the world. In April 2023, this unique instrument made its first public appearance at the Westminster Music Library, where it drew great attention.

In the coming days, he plans to record new projects with his baritone guitar, aiming to introduce its unique sound to the world. In December 2022, with the approval of the Arts Council England, Cenk managed to get a Global Talent Visa and has been living and continuing to make music in UK since then.
