Recalling those early days, he said, "I thought it was the way to dedicate one’s life to art and innovation." When he was seven years old, Tuluyhan Ugurlu promised himself that he would compose a work dedicated to Atatürk, a decision related to his own loneliness as a child. When he visited the mausoleum of Atatürk he identified with what he sensed was loneliness in the life of the great leader himself. Years later he composed the work, consisting of 21 parts and dedicated to Atatürk and his fellow soldiers. Titled "Mustafa Kemal Atatürk and the Soldiers of the Sun," it was the second serious piece composed for Atatürk after Nevid Kodalli's Atatürk Oratorio. After he gained admission to the composition department of the Vienna Academy of Music, a new and long period of his education began in which he fully immersed himself in his art. Ugurlu explains, "As a child, I could not go out and play ball, but at the age of 17, I was able to wander around freely in places where the Vienna Symphony Orchestra or the Moscow State Orchestra were rehearsing. The restrictions of my childhood led me to a life of great freedom." His first album titled "Go With God" enjoyed good sales in Central Europe.
