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) was born in Aarhus, Denmark but is now living in Copenhagen. His unique musical style is highly appreciated by audiences, radio-hosts, and critics all around the world, and you can read various Danish and international reviews here. Besides composing and playing his own music, Antonio also works as a freelance drummer.

In September 2024, Antonio Dayyani's second studio-album with his sextet, “Trop op” (translated: “Step up”), was released on Copenhagen-based April Records, who have built an incredible roster of Danish Jazz-artists such as Little North, Nana Rashid, Kresten Osgood, Rasmus Sørensen, OTOOTO, and many more. This album is an encouragement to “step up” for one another and to share oneself with the world.

 

When performing his music live, Antonio brings his sextet consisting of some of the most promising musical talents from the Danish scene.

Andrea Maagaard, piano

Harald Hagelskjaer, bass
