Latin Jazz Pop from Anton Commissaris

Hailing from the San Francisco Bay Area, Anton Commissaris is a singer, pianist, and composer who has recently dedicated his life to the world of jazz. Today, his sonic output would suggest a lifetime of musical experience, yet his life’s journey tells a completely different story.

Before embarking on his musical journey, Anton had a successful career in Silicon Valley’s tech scene. The shift from technology to music marked a significant and profound transformation, allowing his creativity to shine by crafting soulful jazz compositions. Inspired by legendary artists such as Cole Porter, Harold Arlen and Antonio Carlos Jobim, Anton’s music draws on the timeless appeal and free-flowing nature of jazz. Interestingly, it was the iconic partnership of Lennon and McCartney that first ignited his passion for composing his own melodies and original material.

Anton unveiled his musical endeavour with the world back in 2021 via the debut EP On A Bright Note, which he followed up later that year with the single “Lonely Bay” and his sophomore EP Out of the Blue. Since then, he’s delivered an incredible catalogue of music via a series of singles and EPs, as well as a collaboration with Bennett Roth on the 2023 single “All Up (Get Down),” that have won over fans around the world.

Continuing his exciting musical story this year, Anton has charmed fans with songs like “Baby, Can We Fall In Love” and “Don’t Come Around Here.” He now brings us his latest release and third single of the year with the track titled “Someone Only Meant For Me,” a delightful jam filled with poetic lyricism and elegant melodies which takes listeners on a journey through the streets of Paris with a Brazilian samba groove as fuel.

Immediately setting the colourful vibe of the song, the patter of a Latin percussionist using Conga drums, güiro, aracas, and cowbell is met with the vibrant Latin horn arrangement. Above this upbeat and joyous backing, Anton’s rich, crooning vocals weave playful melodies carrying storytelling lyrics as delicate flourishes of lead instrumental lines blend beautifully with his voice.

Carried by the mellow sway of the rhythm and lifted by the stunning blend of horns and piano, “Someone Only Meant For Me” sees Anton Commissaris create another spellbinding musical moment. It’s timeless music that manages to still capture a modern feel, giving it the ability to speak to music fans of any age, location or background. Once again confirming that his pivot from the tech world to making music has resulted in him delivering worthwhile works of sonic art, Anton Commissaris continues to impress with yet another alluring and engaging single.
