"She may have studied double bass, but you wouldn't know it from her playing. With her unique approach to playing and composing, she has left the drab halls of academies far behind and followed her own path. Musically, she moves between contemporary German jazz and traditional free improvisation. Her compositions are influenced by everything from the early days of Lil Hardin to the AACM movement of the late 1960s."

Jan Leipnitz is a Berlin drummer, known for the The Andy Sugg Group, Gulf (Gulfh) of Berlin, and the trio of Kacper Hubicki/Lars Gühlcke/Jan Leipnitz.

In 1999 I moved to Berlin to study double bass and had a deep and long relationship with jazz, improvised and acoustic music that lead to tours, festivals and occacionally winning a price with different bands and projects.

With time moving on I focused on songwriting and production during almost ten years that I spend with my alternative pop band Super700 either hitting the roads or hiding in studios.

Following that I got deeper into electronics, sounddesign and classical approaches with doing music for theater, cinema and radioplays.

From 2011 to 2015 I lived in Kosovo, where I also worked with different bands and musicians in my brother in laws comfortable STUDIO C.

These days I mainly work in my studio THE COP SHOP writing and producing for theater plays or projects like Brigade Futur lll and the Swiss National Jazz Youth Orchestra. At the the same time I always love to produce, mix and master other peoples music."
