Eurovision Song Contest
Ece made five appearances in the Turkish Eurovision Song Contest selection as follows:[1]
- 1987: "Keloğlan" (with Rüya Ersavci, Fatih Erkoç & Harun Kolçak ) – No placement as only two of the 10 participating songs received jury votes
- 1988: "Zig Zag" (with Cigdem Tunc) – Placements not released
- 1989: "Bana Bana" (as member of Pan) – 1st
- 1991: "Sessiz geceler" (with Gür Akad) – 2nd
- 1995: "Sev" – 1st
Following her victory with Pan in 1989, Ece went forward to the 34th Eurovision Song Contest, held in Lausanne, Switzerland on 6 May. "Bana Bana" was a very ethnic-sounding song but it came many years before such songs became vote winners at Eurovision, and finished in 21st place of the 22 entries, beating only the 'nul points' Icelandic entry.[2]
Ece's appearance, with the more mainstream ballad "Sev", at the 40th Eurovision Song Contest in Dublin on 13 May 1995 resulted in a slightly better placement – 16th out of 23.[3] She released her second album, Sebebi yok, in 1994, then retired from the music industry.[citation needed]
Post-Eurovision
In her hopeful war against cancer, she came back to the agenda back in 2012 with her song "Kemo Ağa".
None of her Eurovision songs were major hits in Turkey, Germany or elsewhere in the Turkish diaspora.
Personal life
Ece married Ali Otyam in 1999;[4] the couple had a son but divorced in 2007.[5] Ece was diagnosed with leukemia in 2009, and underwent treatment, including chemotherapy.[citation needed]
