Bryan Carter is a Grammy and Tony Award-winning drummer, vocalist, composer, arranger, orchestrator, and bandleader.

After completing his training at The Juilliard School, Carter has already played with legendary artists, including McCoy Tyner, Wynton Marsalis, Marcus Roberts, Kenny Barron, Michael Feinstein, and Kurt Elling. In addition to working in the worlds of film, television, and Broadway, Bryan founded "Jazz at Pride," a non-profit organization dedicated to curating performances and educational engagements that feature world-class artists from the LGBTQIA+ community.

Bryan served as the drummer for NBC’s “Maya & Marty,” the classic television program “Sesame Street,” and most recently appeared as a guest with The 8G Band on NBC's “Late Night With Seth Meyers.”

Bryan most recently served as co-orchestrator for Broadway's “Some Like It Hot,” for which he and his co-orchestrator Charlie Rosen made history as the first orchestrators to sweep all three major awards in a single season: the 76th Annual Tony Awards for Best Orchestrations, the Outer Critics Circle Awards, and the Drama Desk Awards for Outstanding Orchestrations. Rosen and Carter continued their streak of success at the 66th Annual GRAMMY Awards, winning the title of Best Musical Theater Album as producers on the recording.

Bryan’s new album, “I Believe,” is available via Bandstand Presents and La Reserve Records. Bryan’s new jazz-orchestral work, “Rustin in Renaissance,” will premiere as a part of Jazz at Lincoln Center’s ‘24-’25 Season.
