Is my writing correct?

Now / Today / This time I want to tell you about a Turkish blues singer. He might have been the only blues singer in Turkey, but he died. His name was Yavuz Çetin. I wanted to learn from/about* him before he died. He was born in Samsun and he started his music life at an early age. First, he learned to play shrill-voiced hawk* and later he started to listen to blues music. After that, I think, he did wonders.
