In the unyielding pulse of New York City, one finds layers of identity stacked on top of each other like two kids in a trench coat. Every corner echoes with tall tales of individuals who seamlessly maneuver through their multifaceted lives. This isn’t merely the city where dreams are made but where duality is the norm. And in the relentless pursuit of said dreams, one must wear as many hats (or coats) as possible. In the wrinkles of time and busy schedules, Zack Kantor performs his two-step groove.
As Head of Platform Design at Giphy, and guitarist in both Rebounder and Loose Buttons, Zack demonstrates a sharp intuition for the contemporary while also navigating the complexities of being a musician on the road. In a city where your Uber driver might just be the next indie filmmaker, and the face behind the weekend farmers market stall is a published poet, Zack’s maneuvering of visual and auditory artistry fits right in, yet remains distinctively noteworthy.
As you enter into the world of Zack Kantor, you’ll find a testament to New York’s ever-evolving tapestry of talent. The city's duality isn't just a trait but a driving force, and Zack, one individual amid the millions, crafts a harmony all his own.
