Mesut Kurtis

Mesut Kurtis is a Turkish-Macedonian nasheed singer known for his spiritually uplifting music that blends Islamic themes with diverse musical styles. Born on July 31, 1981, in Skopje, North Macedonia, he comes from a scholarly and religious family with deep roots in Islamic tradition. His early exposure to classical Arabic and Turkish music helped shape his distinct vocal style and spiritual focus.

Kurtis pursued higher education in the United Kingdom, where he earned a degree in Human Sciences, Islamic Law, and Jurisprudence. Fluent in multiple languages—including Arabic, English, Macedonian, and Turkish—he is known for incorporating this linguistic versatility into his music.

His debut album, Salawat, released in 2004, featured a blend of Arabic, Turkish, and English songs and gained international recognition, particularly for his rendition of “Al-Burdah.” Since then, he has released several other successful albums, including Beloved, Tabassam, and Balaghal Ula. His music combines Sufi influences, Turkish classical elements, and contemporary arrangements.

In addition to his recording career, Kurtis has been active in humanitarian efforts, performing in charity concerts and tours across the globe to support causes such as children’s welfare and disaster relief. He continues to be a leading voice in spiritual and nasheed music, inspiring listeners with his message of peace, love, and devotion.
