Hello!

I'm Benedictus Kent Rachmat

Jazz Pianist

Hello! I'm Kent.

a jazz pianist with a profound love for music that began at the tender age of five. My musical journey has been enriched by my experiences with my school band and the Elmynt Trio, where we performed together in various gigs.

My formal music education includes attending music schools like Rapsody and Melodia. However, a significant turn in my playing style was shaped at Jazz Centrum in Surabaya under the mentorship of Yason Gunawan, and in Bali with the legendary Indonesian jazz musician Indra Lesmana. Further honing my skills, I studied at the Conservatoire de Lille, where I was mentored by Cyrille Wambergue.
