About
Co-founder of jazzhane, Anıl believes that his search for melancholy in music and the perception of home (or the lack thereof) is a search for belonging: a feeling that can be fictitious. Unsurprisingly, his eclectic sets heavily feature music in the minor key. Believing that stories are told through music, Anıl blends melodramatic tunes with the Andalusian cadence, Rumba, or Cumbia, accompanied by deep basslines. Depending on the night and setting, the stories can be dark, joyful, ecstatic, or humorous, oftentimes energetic and with explosive energy.
He has been playing for friends and family in Switzerland (Stereo Bar Zurich, Kasheme, Kauz, Jazz Club Moods, Theater Neumarkt, Dachstock Bern, Kaserne Basel) and abroad (Istanbul’s NOH Radio, Tavern, or Munich’s Import/Export).
Anıl holds a PhD in Economics from the University of Zurich, teaches management, marketing, and economics, and creates interdisciplinary postgraduate and executive education programs.
