Dorian’s academic journey began at the junior department of the State University of Music and Performing Arts Stuttgart, where Dorian subsequently pursued a Bachelor of Music degree under the mentorship of Prof. Tillmann Reinbeck and Prof. Johannes Monno. His musical proficiency extends beyond the classical guitar, highlighting his versatility as a musician. During his undergraduate studies, he received additional support from Prof. Wolfgang Schmid (of Klaus Doldinger’s Jazz fusion band ‘Passport’) and Prof. Mini Schulz, enabling him to perform at Stuttgart’s most iconic jazz venues.
