Cenk Esen & Graeme Flowers live at SJQ in Dalston

Gotobeat is teaming up with SJQ to welcome Cenk Esen and Aykan Esen on Wednesday, November 6th.

**CENK ESEN -** Cenk Esen is an Istanbul-born, London-based pianist and composer. Born to a family of musicians, Cenk grew up listening to post-bop classics alongside mid-noughties pop, shaping a musical sensibility as diverse as the soundscapes of his hometown. After graduating from the Berklee College of Music, where he was a student at the prestigious Global Jazz Institute, Cenk moved to London, quickly establishing himself as a mover and shaker in the scene. The last few years have seen him tour and collaborate with artists like Kamaal Williams, Romarna Campbell, Şam, MckNasty and Tom Driessler; perform in venues like Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club, Cadogan Hall, Southbank Centre and Royal Albert Hall; and events like Montreux Jazz Festival, London Jazz Festival and We Out Here Festival.

**GRAEME FLOWERS -** On TV and in concert, Graeme has performed live with Quincy Jones, Taylor Swift, Harry Styles, Duran Duran, Cee Lo Green, Michael Buble and the Jonas Brothers. 

**AYKAN ESEN -** Hailing from Istanbul and currently based in North London, Aykan Esen combines the Breakbeat, Broken Beat and UK House music culture of his present home with the instrumental improvisation based influence of his upbringing. DJ’ing in clubs in Istanbul, London, and Milan in recent years, his sets have been described as energetic musical adventures constantly introducing listeners to new grooves.
