Mecal told the journalists: "My stage name is "MECAL", my name is Batuhan Saz. I was born on 14.08.2002. I was born in the slum neighborhood of Antalya, Habibs. I was interested in rap music since the first grade. Even when the class was empty, I would go up to the blackboard and sing the songs I wrote. I have always been interested since a young age. But I have been doing it professionally for the last 1 years. The origin story of the song "Before I Die" is that since we live in a world where everything is appreciated after death, love, hatred, happiness or the value of a person is only known when they die, I wrote it down in my notebook with a little rebellion that something should be done before I die. " he said.
