AyseDeniz Gokcin

AyseDeniz Gokcin is a classically trained virtuoso pianist and composer holding a bachelor’s degree from the Eastman School of Music and a master’s from the Royal Academy of Music. Considered a child prodigy in her native Turkey, she made her concerto debut at the age of nine. Since then, she has performed as a soloist in over 29 countries, from classical concert halls to rock and jazz festivals. She is an official Kawai Artist and a GRAMMY® Voting Member.

Gokcin’s work with artificial intelligence (AI) allows her to explore complex musical variations and remix ideas that emerge from AI-generated suggestions, adding layers to her compositions. This approach enables her to compose pieces that resonate with both classical and modern audiences, offering a fresh perspective on piano performance. With her new Classical Regenerated AI Initiative & Piano Show, she brings back legendary classical composers and explores the future of music through cutting-edge Al technology. This project not only honors the composers but also introduces new audiences to classical music in an innovative way. A distinctive figure in the contemporary classical music scene, Gokcin performs for fans worldwide to sold-out shows.

In 2022, Gokcin was listed as one of the 20 under 40 Young Shapers of the Future of Music by Encyclopaedia Britannica alongside notable artists such as Adele, Lil Nas, and Lorde. In August 2023, she made her Los Angeles debut at Walt Disney Concert Hall and won the Best Contemporary Classical Composition award at the Hollywood Independent Music Awards with her composition Kelton from her 10th album, Patterns. Her compositions were featured in the Amazon Prime series "Dance Life" and National Geographic’s "A Real Bug’s Life." Gokcin has performed at conferences including TED AI, Kennedy Center Creative & Tech Summit, Summit Series, BetterUp and SXSW 2023.
