Anton Kot

Born: 2002

Anton Kot is an award-winning multi-instrumentalist and composer known for his work on drums, piano, and gamelan. Described as a musician with “composers’ wit” (Paul Rauch, All About Jazz), he is recognized by Broadcast Music, Inc. (BMI) as a 2025 Future Jazz Master who continues to push the boundaries of music by combining contemporary genres with the jazz idiom.

Born in New York City, Kot was raised by visual artist parents and immersed in the creative community of early Williamsburg, Brooklyn. He received his first drum set at age three and began piano lessons soon after at the age of 4. Following a Philip Glass performance at the nearby venue Roulette, he composed his first piece, “Snowstorm.” Kot credits his early exposure to the arts with broadening his musical palette and shaping his multifaceted sound.
