[edit] Life and Career
In 1992, she met Sezen Aksu, who was shopping at the department store where she worked. Sezen hired her as a backing singer after an audition. She supported Aksu at her album Deli Kızın Türküsü at back-vocals, also worked as her assistant for two years.
Hande's debut album "Senden İbaret" (All About You) came out in 2000, with hit songs such as Yalanın Batsın and Yoksa Mani. The second release,"Sen Yoluna,Ben Yoluma"(Go To Your Way,I Will Go Mine, this album is also known as "Extra"),came out in 2001, with catchy hits such as Sen Yoluna, Ben Yoluma (Balon) and Küs.
Later she returned with "Aşk Kadın Ruhundan Anlamıyor" (Love Don't Understand From Women's Soul) in 2004, her third album, which had six hits all-over Turkey;Acele Etme, Kırmızı, Acı Veriyor, Armağan, Hoşgeldiniz and Bu Yüzden,with radio hits such as Savaş Sonrası and Aşk Kadın Ruhundan Anlamıyor. "Aşk Kadın Ruhundan Anlamıyor" brought success to Yener in abroad too.
Although her latest album was a huge success, Yener decided to improve and refine her music again (she wanted a more dance-friendly Euro Pop sound), also changed her appearance (dyed her blond hair to black). The result was "Apayrı" (Totally Different),which came out in early 2006,with hit song Kelepçe and following song Aşkın Ateşi. This album sold 150.000 units within 5 days.
