Safiye Ayla (14 July 1907 – 14 January 1998) was one of the most famous singers of Turkish classical music.
[5] Safiye Ayla worked with some of the most important artists of her time, including Yesari Asım Arsoy, Hafız Ahmet Irsoy, Selahattin Pınar, Sadettin Kaynak and Udi Nevres Bey.
Her repertoire included classical, modern, and popular music, so she was able to reach a broad public.
[5] By writing "Seninle doğan gündür bu gönül" and "Aşk yaprağına konarak koza öresim gelir", she showed her own songwriting talent.
Safiye Ayla is considered, along with Müzeyyen Senar and Hamiyet Yüceses, to be the "Üç Dev Çınar" (three great sycamores).
