In a blend of crystal-clear, Nordic melancholy and dusty Americana, Antonio Dayyani invites you into his unorthodox jazz universe filled with stories of melodies and delicate sound-textures.

 

Antonio Dayyani (2000) is a young drummer and composer from Aarhus, Denmark, who's already been highly acclaimed by radio-hosts and critics for his ability to create in a completely personal and unique style. In September 2024, his second studio-album “Trop op” (translated: “Step up”) will be released on copenhagen-based April Records, who’ve built an incredible roster of Danish jazz-artists such as Little North, Nana Rashid, Kresten Osgood, Rasmus Sørensen, & OTOOTO. This album is an encouragement to “step up” for one another and to share yourself with the world.
