== Biography ==
In 2004 16-year old Sibel Redzep, burst onto Swedish TV screens auditioning for “Idol” singing Christina Aguilera's 'Beautiful' reducing the usually hard faced judge Peter Swartling to tears. The following year she was beaten to the final by Agnes Carlsson and Sebastian Karlsson. This was just the beginning, promised Sibel, and now she is back stronger than ever, not only as a musician but as a person too!


==Early life==
Sibel's background is both colourful and dramatic. She was born in the town of Radovis, in the mountains of south-eastern Macedonia. Her family lived in the nearby small community group but is of Turkish origin. The village is beautiful, but the area is rough and the population is poor.
She was born in [[Radoviš]] in the mountains of [[Southeastern Statistical Region|southeastern]] [[North Macedonia]], then [[Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia|Yugoslavia]], to an ethnic [[Turks in North Macedonia|Macedonian Turkish]] family. Her family lived in the nearby small Macedonian village of [[Topolnica, Radoviš|Topolnica]].


In 2004, 16-year-old Redžep entered Swedish talent contest ''[[Idol 2004 (Sweden)|Idol]]''. She sang "[[Beautiful (Christina Aguilera song)|Beautiful]]" by [[Christina Aguilera]], reducing the usually hard-faced judge [[Peter Swartling]] to tears. [[Idol 2005 (Sweden)|The following year]], she was beaten to the final by [[Agnes (singer)|Agnes Carlsson]] and [[Sebastian Karlsson (singer)|Sebastian Karlsson]].
Sibel's mother was one of eight siblings, her father one of seven. And when her parents grew up it was really different. Sometimes there was not even food on the table ...
When Sibel's parents were younger, they escaped to marry, before Sibel's two older sisters Selma and Zelda were born. Sibel's mother also gave birth to a third daughter prior to Sibel being born, but the child was unwell and died of a heart condition after two months. Sibel tells that her mother had always dreamed of having three daughters and that indirectly, she was born out her her sisters death, saying that she feels she was born to a sadness and grief in her life.


==Career==
Sibel was born with a complex joint problem, which is normally addressed during the first days of birth but unfortunately in Sibel's case it was undiscovered until she was six months old. To carry out this operation meant travelling to Malmo.
Sibel's management team includes "Idol" judge [[Peter Swartling]], who immediately after the loss of Sibel in the penultimate round of [[Idol 2005]]. Swartling stood to his word and in the summer of 2006, he started work with Sibel in the studio with songwriter/producer Christian Antblad in Dublin. With Sibel at the microphone it was decided that they would work with big ballads for her voice. One of the ballads, "How I Tried To Let You Go" was originally a small idea for a chorus sung by Sibel over the phone, which was taken to the studio where Christian and Peter immediately fell for it. With a total of about thirty songs recorded, Sibel returned to the home town of Kristianstad to graduate from high school.


===Melodifestivalen 2008===
''“There is a photo from our departure from the group in which all the family members and relatives stand crying except me who is smiling like the sun!”''
Redžep participated in [[Melodifestivalen 2008]] with the [[ballad]] "[[That Is Where I'll Go]]", in the last semi-final, where she advanced to "Andra chansen" (second chance), and subsequently made it to the finals. In hope of representing Sweden at [[Eurovision Song Contest 2008]] in Belgrade, Serbia. She was lost to [[Charlotte Perrelli]], who later represented Sweden in the [[Eurovision Song Contest 2008|Eurovision 2008]].


Since the show Sibel has released her album ''[[The Diving Belle]]'' and two singles, "[[That Is Where I'll Go]]" and "[[Make Believe (Sibel Redžep song)|Make Believe]]. There are plans to release her debut album in her native language, [[Turkish language|Turkish]].
After the operation Sibel became fixed with plaster from her hip to her bottom. Subsequently, she still had to lie in a hospital bed for eight months without being able to move anything but her hands. After being operated on no fewer than eight times on her hip joint, Sibel eventually started school. For the first period of school she had to use a wheelchair until eventually she gained strength and started to use crutches.


===Melodifestivalen 2010===
''“Instead of growing up with the family, I was living at the hospital, and I was never going to nursery or day care with the other children”''
Redžep participated in [[Melodifestivalen 2010]] with the song "[[Stop (Sibel Redžep song)|Stop]]". She performed in semi-final 4, held on 27 February. The song was written by [[Mikaela Stenström]] and [[Dimitri Stassos]]. She competed for the chance to represent [[Sweden in the Eurovision Song Contest|Sweden at the Eurovision Song Contest]], but she failed, as she only placed 7th.


===Shake It Up 2010===
Today, Sibel no longer suffers greatly with her hip, although she has to train everyday so as not to let the joints stiffen. After an operation a few years ago, she no longer has problems of otitis that made her wear a hearing aid for most of her childhood and the majority of her teens. A successful operation when she was 15 gave her back 90% of the hearing she lost, something which Sibel herself says got her to talk and sing too high at school!
In 2010, Sibel Redžep recorded the song "Our Generation" for [[Disney Channel]]'s TV series ''[[Shake It Up (U.S. TV series)|Shake It Up]]'', which is featured on the soundtrack ''[[Shake It Up: Break It Down]]''.


===Songwriting===
Sibel took part in the 2007 Melodifestivalen competition to find a Swedish entry for the Eurovision Song Contest with the ballad 'That Is Where I'll Go” composed by Christian Antblad who composed most of the songs on Sibel's debut Album. Sibel exclaims that she has always has a love-hate relationship with the Schlager genre of songs.
Sibel is also a songwriter signed to BMG after several years of songwriting at Warner Chappell. Since 2014 she's mostly writing songs for other artists. She has sung backing vocals on Ariana Grande's hit singles Into You, Love Me Harder, and Bad Decisions; Carly Rae Jepsen's Run Away With Me; and other artists such as Victoria Justice, Ashley Tisdale and Hilary Duff. Sibel is frequently between Stockholm and Los Angeles writing songs.

Music has always been an important part of Sibel's life, she tells how she always sings whether she's happy or sad. Although the starting field for Agnes Carlsson, Sebastian Karlsson, Måns Zelmerlöw, Ola Svensson and Sibel, Idol 2005 was undoubtedly the strongest series in the competitions history and Sibel felt extremely disappointed after being eliminated.
