Özenc Düzenli, a finalist in the 2025 Nardis Young Jazz Musician Competition, is a London-based jazz guitar-ist with ten years of performance experience. Özenc began playing guitar at the age of 11. After graduating from university and performing at festivals in the UK and Europe for two years, he decided to move to New York to pursue a master’s degree and perform.
