Career
His first album Kırmızılım was released in 1998, with "Ham Çökelek" released as a popular single.
In October 2012, Taş's release of a cover of Gangnam Style called Yamyam Style (Cannibal Style) caused some Turkish social media outlets to claim in jest that Taş was actually Greek and named "Athillas Thasos".[1][2] This jesting continued in 2013 when an online petition proposed that Taş should be selected to represent Turkey at Eurovision, as Turkey has withdrawn from that competition over dissatisfaction with its rules.[3]
Taş also drew front page headlines in Turkey in 1999 when it was reported that he knew how David Copperfield performed one of his illusions.[4][5]
In February 2014, a humorous video project Taş did with Samsung received over one million views in two days.[6]
Taş, who had posted satirical tweets about Turkey's president Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, was arrested along with 28 other people in September 2016 for alleged membership in "an armed terrorist organization".[7] Although a court ordered his release[8] on 31 March 2017, the decision was reversed[9] after an appeal by the prosecutor. He was held in pre-trial detention for a total of one year, one month and 21 days.[10] On 8 March 2018 he was sentenced to 3 years, 1 month and 15 days of imprisonment.[11] In January 2021, the European Court of Human Rights found his pre-trial detention unlawful and arbitrary.[12]
