Life
Şen came from a music-loving family and was esteemed for his singing. As a child, Şen performed hymns in the Armenian church and quickly became well-known.[citation needed] At age eleven, while visiting Bursa, he was introduced to Hacı Ârif Bey. As an adult, Şen moved to Istanbul, and was able to improve his financial situation and establish connections with people in various circles. He studied with some of the most influential musical figures of the day, including Hacı Ârif Bey, Tanburî Cemil Bey, Neyzen Aziz Dede, Şevki Dede, Rahmi Bey, Hanende Nedim Bey, and Hacı Kirami Efendi. Şen eventually became a celebrated singer.[vague]
