Orçun Koray Candemir (born on August 7, 1975 in Istanbul), is the lead vocalist of the Turkish rock band Kargo. He took steps towards a solo career, with the release of his debut solo effort Sade (Simple) in 2001. He also starred in the movie His Secret Life[1] directed by renowned Turkish director Ferzan Özpetek. He is currently a student of engineering at Yıldız Technical University in Istanbul.
Besides singing, Koray plays the guitar in Kargo. In 2002 he was one of the jury of the Siemens-sponsored Sing Your Song - Şarkını Söyle music contest[2][3] which gave rise to a new wave of rock performers like maNga (with whom he has a duet called Kal Yanımda) and Emre Aydın.
