Ufuk's debut as a soloist at the Romanian Opera of Craiova transpired in May 2020, showcasing his talent in a lieder recital alongside fellow institution soloists. Since then, he has undertaken roles in various operas and operettas, demonstrating his versatility and skill.

In 2022, Ufuk had the privilege of participating in a masterclass led by soprano Barbara Frittoli in Montecosaro Alto, followed by another masterclass in Sibiu with baritone and Cluj-Napoca National Opera manager Florian Estefan.

In 2023, he collaborated with soprano Nelly Miricioiu, further enriching his musical journey. Ufuk's notable debuts include Gherardo in "Gianni Schicchi" at the Festival of the Aegean in Greece and the role of Commissario Imperiale in "Madama Butterfly."
