Dorian Dumont was born in Montpellier, where he received a classical piano education at the conservatory and graduated in 2005 with the highest distinction in piano and chamber music. Shortly afterwards, his focus shifted towards jazz and improvised music, which brought him to Brussels in 2008, where he has remained ever since. He completed his studies at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels and obtained his master’s degree in 2013.

Driven by a constant curiosity for new sounds, Dumont refuses to confine himself to a single genre. He moves freely between different musical worlds, developing a layered and highly personal playing style.

In recent years, he has gained recognition through ECHT!, a band that boldly dismantles the boundaries between jazz, electronic music and hip hop. Alongside this, he is involved in a wide range of projects, including Guillaume Vierset’s Edges, Easy Pieces with Ben Saugereau and Hendrik Lasure, and the Dario Congedo Trio. His solo album APHEXionS (2021), inspired by Aphex Twin, marks a new step: a space of tension between composition and improvisation, where electronic logic and piano playing converge.
