Dominic Chamot was born in Cologne in 1995. He has won over thirty competition prizes so far, making him one of the most successful pianists of his generation. His most recent achievements include winning the fourth prize and a special award at the 2023 Maria-Canals Competition in Barcelona.

Chamot began his career as a "rising talent" in his youth, being accepted into the class of Prof. Sheila Arnold at the Pre-College-Cologne of the HfMT Cologne at the age of only 12, which provided him with decisive musical impulses. Soon after, he won international prizes in Berlin, Zwickau, Enschede, Weimar, and Cologne, among others, and performed in venues such as the Berlin and Cologne Philharmonie, the Vienna Musikverein, the Laeisz-Halle Hamburg, and others.

Chamot decided to take a break from the concert scene to study under the renowned pedagogue, Claudio Martinez-Mehner, in Basel, and refine his playing. He completed his Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Specialised Performance - Soloist with the highest grade and distinction, and is expected to complete his pedagogy degree with Zoltan Fejervari in June 2023.

During this time, his reputation as a versatile artist grew, leading to ever-increasing engagements in various fields. He played multiple times in the Berlin Philharmonie in 2018, won some of Switzerland's most exclusive scholarships, and was invited by the WDR Symphony Orchestra to perform as a soloist at the Cologne Philharmonie. Following these successes, he received further invitations from orchestras throughout Germany. He also regularly participates in chamber music festivals, worked as a répétiteur for the Theater Basel during his studies, and even served as a performing actor in two productions.

From 2011 to 2014, Chamot was a scholarship holder of the "Jürgen Ponto-Stiftung" and the "Deutsche Stiftung Musikleben". He received the Migros-Kulturprozent Study Award from 2018 to 2020, and in 2020 he was selected for the Lieven Piano Foundation Scholarship. Pianist and critic, Hannes Sonntag, describes him as follows: "Dominic Chamot creates that lasting emotional experience for the sake of which we ultimately make or listen to music!”.
