How music, art, and strategy became one.

Who We Are

The story behind the studio

Beyond the Scene

Studio N is a hybrid creative studio based in Istanbul where music, art, design, strategy, and storytelling converge. We exist at the crossroads of creative production and business innovation helping brands find their voice, artists find their audience, and ideas find their full potential. Part creative collective, part innovation lab, we bring a rare combination of artistic depth and strategic thinking to everything we do.

The Band Behind the Studio

maNga is one of Turkey's most iconic and internationally acclaimed rock bands. Formed in 2001. The band led by vocalist Ferman Akgül, guitarist and chief songwriter Yağmur Sarıgül, drummer Özgür Can Öney, and bassist Cem Bahtiyar has spent over two decades pushing musical boundaries with their signature fusion of Anatolian melodies, rock, and electronic textures. With an MTV Best European Act award, a second-place finish at the Eurovision Song Contest, a song featured in FIFA, performances alongside Linkin Park and The Cure, and over 200 international awards, maNga has built not just a catalog but a cultural legacy and a community of millions.

The Strategist Behind the Vision

Aydın Adrian Bahar is a strategy and innovation expert, writer, and digital artist who has spent years helping organizations unlock creativity and rethink the way they work. With a deep passion for design thinking, creative direction, and copywriting, Aydın founded Cogito House in 2025 as a platform for innovation and creative consulting. In early 2026, Cogito House and maNga joined forces to create "Studio N" a studio built on the belief that the most extraordinary work happens when artistic talent meets strategic vision.

How We Came Together

The idea was simple: what if a world-class band and a strategy driven creative mind built something together? maNga brought two decades of artistic excellence, a loyal community of millions, and a deep understanding of music, culture, and performance. Cogito House brought innovation frameworks, design thinking methodologies, and a sharp eye for brand and business strategy. Studio N is the result a place where creativity is not just celebrated, but channeled into work that moves audiences and delivers real value.
