Bonomo was born in İzmir, Turkey to a Sephardic Jewish family.[4][5] At the age of 17, he began his official career as a vocal productionist in Istanbul. At the same time, Bonomo went on with studying TV and cinema at the Istanbul Bilgi University with his programmes being aired on popular radio channels such as Number 1 FM, Radio101 and Radio Class.[6] Then his radio programmes were followed by programmes in international TV channels such as MTV and Number One TV. Also, he composed the songs for other singers.[7][6][8]
After his musical career, he began to write poetry and publish poetry books. His first poetry book was named Delirmek Belirmektir (2014) and it was published by Küçük İskender. Also, his illustrations were published.[9][10][citation needed]
In January 2012, he was internally selected to represent Turkey in the Eurovision Song Contest 2012 in Baku, Azerbaijan.[11] In February 2012, Can revealed his song "Love Me Back" to the public.[12][13][14] He placed seventh with the song at the contest's final competition on 26 May 2012.[15][16][17] He was also the last representative of Turkey at Eurovision, as the country withdrew from Eurovision the following year and has yet to return.
