Ajlan Büyükburç (13 November 1970 – 22 July 1999) was a Turkish singer.
Ajlan Büyükburç was born in 1970 to Erol Büyükburç and Türkan Türker. Her parents later had a younger daughter named Jeyan.[1] At the age of eight, Büyükburç started learning guitar from her father. Having an archive of her father's three thousand records, Büyükburç had said that she started playing jazz music thanks to him.[2] At the age of 17, she began performing Turkish songs and later became a backing vocalist for Fatih Erkoç. While studying at Nişantaşı Anadolu Lisesi, she participated in the High School Music Competition organized by Milliyet and was chosen as the "Best Female Teenage Soloist".[1][2] She had her debut at the Aziz Üstel's TV program Gecenin Konukları after which she became famous. Through this program she met Mine Çağlıyan, with whom she formed the duo Ajlan-Mine. The two released their first album Aşkolsun in December 1993. The album was successful, however, Ajlan and Mine parted ways a year later.[3]
