Musician

Anton Kot

Born:

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 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.
