Unlike his peers, who play the quanun in a deeply entrenched Classical Turkish style, Doğan possesses a jazz, blues, Latin and Gypsy influenced approach to the quanun. A singular talent, Doğan, was invited to play an Umm Kulthoum piece with the Vienna Symphony Orchestra during Mozart Week in 2007. Doğan plays an integral role in Taksim Trio as he builds the bridge between the baglama and the clarinet with his crowd-pleasing performances on the quanun.
