Formed in 2025 following the hugely successful Big5 Türkiye competition, manifest — comprising Esin Bahat, Hilal Yelekçi, Lidya Pınar, Mina Solak, Sueda Uluca and Zeynep Su Okday — made an immediate impact on the Turkish music scene. Their debut single, “Zamansızdık”, quickly became a streaming phenomenon, while follow-up release “Arıyo” further cemented their status as one of the country’s most exciting new acts. Blending polished pop production, dynamic choreography and undeniable charisma, the six-piece have rapidly built a devoted fanbase, amassing millions of listeners and helping bring girl group culture back into the mainstream in Turkey.
Their debut album, Manifestival (2025), proved a landmark release, generating millions of streams within days of release and seeing all 11 tracks chart simultaneously in Turkey’s Top 50. The album went on to become one of the most-streamed girl group releases worldwide that year, highlighting the group's growing international appeal. Momentum continued with the chart-topping single “Hileli”, a collaboration with Turkish pop icon Ajda Pekkan, which reached No.1 in Turkey and attracted global attention across Europe and beyond. With viral success, a rapidly expanding international audience and a reputation for spectacular live performances, manifest have quickly established themselves as one of the most exciting new names in contemporary pop.
