Cem Karaca was a prominent Turkish rock musician and one of the most important figures in the Anatolian rock movement. He was a graduate of Robert College. He worked with various Turkish rock bands such as Apaşlar, Kardaşlar, Moğollar and Dervişan. With these bands, he brought a new understanding and interpretation to Turkish rock. He was also known for his political and social activism, writing songs that criticized the injustices and oppression in Turkey.

He returned to Turkey after the restoration of democracy and continued his musical career until his death in 2004. He was buried in Karacaahmet Cemetery, the oldest and largest cemetery in Istanbul.
