He identifies Orhan Gencebay, Burhan Bayar, Erkin Koray, Cem Karaca, Selami Şahin and Ferdi Tayfur among the musicians and composers who influenced his artistic development.
These influences contributed to his interest in combining traditional melodic structures with contemporary harmonic, electronic and orchestral arrangements.
His compositions frequently incorporate musical elements associated with Anatolia, the Middle East, the Balkans and Western musical traditions.
Melodic expression forms a central component of his compositional approach.

DORIANTAL — MUSICAL STYLE

According to Şencan's description, Doriantal combines four principal musical elements:

- The Dorian Musical Mode
- Oriental Musical Elements
- Overdrive and Distortion Electric Guitar Embellishments
The concept integrates electronic dance rhythms, Dorian-based melodic structures, oriental musical characteristics and ornamented electric guitar passages.
Within this musical approach, overdrive and distortion guitar techniques function as expressive and decorative elements within the composition.
Şencan identifies himself as the inventor and originator of the Doriantal musical concept.
