Reyhan Karaca is a Turkish singer.
Born in a musical family, she received the Istanbul Children's Choir award when she was six years old. After her primary education, she passed her exams to attend the Istanbul Technical University Turkish Music State Conservatory, where she got her bachelor's and master's degrees from.
After graduation, she began work as a teacher; it would not be until 1987 when she started a professional singing career as a backing vocalist and instrumentalist. Together with Melih Kibar, she tried to represent Turkey in 1988, but to no avail. Three years later, she got to represent Turkey at the Eurovision Song Contest 1991 in Rome with the song İki Dakika, featuring İzel Çeliköz and Can Uğurluer. It placed 12th in field of 22, making it one of Turkey's best placing entries at the time.
Reyhan released her debut album the following year, yet she didn't promote it as much because of the genre differences between her work and the Turkish music scene. Her second album, released in 1997, became a major breakthrough, and she released three more albums since.
Despite continuing to release a number of singles, Reyhan has taken to acting since 2012.
