History
The group initially formed in 2005 under the name "A due Carmen" by Okan Işık, Aşkın Çolak, and Can Temiz. Two years later, in 2007, Fatma Turgut and Serkan Gürüzümcü joined the lineup after the members connected through online platforms. In 2008, they adopted the name Model and subsequently released their first album, Perili Sirk, in 2009.
Their sophomore album, Diğer Masallar, arrived in 2011 with production by Demir Demirkan. This release included well-known songs such as "Buzdan Şato", "Değmesin Ellerimiz", and "Bir Melek Vardı".
Following the departure of drummer Aşkın Çolak in 2012, Kerem Sedef took over percussion duties. The band's third studio effort, Levlâ'nın Hikayesi, was issued by GNL Entertainment in late November 2013 and explored motifs of loss and separation.
Due to internal conflicts, the band ceased activities in 2016.
Awards
In 2010, Model earned the Digital Age Award recognizing Most Innovative Music/Sound Design for a track created for Efes Pilsen. Prior to this, while performing as "A due Carmen," they were honored with the Billboard Special Jury Award at Roxy Music Days.
