Fatih Karaca (31 August 1985, Mersin, Turkey) better known with his stage name Mabel Matiz, is a Turkish pop music singer-song writer. He chose his stage name from 2 different words that he is inspired by. 'Mabel' is coming from the famous Turkish novel 'Kumral Ada Mavi Tuna' written by Buket Uzuner. It is the nickname of Tuna who is one of the main characters in the book. 'Matiz' is a slag word in old Greek language and it means "drunk". Mabel Matiz defines his whole nickname as it reflects and shows his point of view about this world and life.[2]
