About this Artist

Indonesian composer and pianist Eunike Tanzil is known for her music, characterized by lyrical melodic lines and emotive harmonic progressions. Drawing inspiration from various genres including classical, jazz, and world music, her compositions craft narratives that resonate deeply with audiences. Under an exclusive contract with Deutsche Grammophon, Tanzil will release her debut album, recorded live with the Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin, later this year.

Tanzil’s music has been performed by notable orchestras such as the Boston Symphony Orchestra, San Francisco Symphony Orchestra, Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra, and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. In 2025, her most recent orchestral work, Eridanus, will be premiered by the National Symphony Orchestra at the Kennedy Center.

Whether writing for film, television, theatre, or the concert hall, Tanzil thrives on projects that offer opportunities to collaborate and exchange ideas with similarly passionate artists. She has collaborated with Ray Chen, Arturo Sandoval, and Laufey, among others, showcasing a diverse musical portfolio. Her recent production collaboration with Grammy Award-winning Chinese-Icelandic singer Laufey on Only Mine, part of a Bose and Porsche campaign, highlights her versatility as a producer, arranger, and orchestrator. 

In recent years, Tanzil has also made significant contributions to the film industry, lending her musical expertise to projects such as The Addams Family 2, I Wanna Dance With Somebody, and Abominable and the Invisible City. Her recent achievements include scoring the romantic comedy Asian Persuasion, which premiered at the prestigious SOHO International Film Festival in 2023. Tanzil’s professional journey has been further enriched by mentorship from industry luminaries such as Academy Award-winning composer John Corigliano, John Debney, and Pinar Toprak.

Beyond the studio, Tanzil fosters a vibrant community of creatives on social media, redefining what it means to be a composer in the 21st century. Her creativity shines in her iconic Hum Me A Melody series, in which she transforms street-hummed motifs into symphonic arrangements. Through educational content and clips of her compositions, she aims to introduce orchestral music to a wider audience and inspire aspiring composers.

Tanzil holds degrees from Berklee College of Music and The Juilliard School, both of which she attended on full scholarships.
