Dr. Mackenzie Jacob LaMont (b. 1989) is an active composer, performer (percussion), music educator, and music industry/audio recording specialist. His recent compositions have been focused on the environment as well as political and philosophical issues, with the sound world inhabiting a space somewhere between minimalism and post-progressive rock (with dashes of polystylism here and there).

LaMont has a DMA in music composition with a cognate in percussion from the University of Cincinnati, College-Conservatory of Music where he studied composition with Michael Fiday, Joel Hoffman, and Douglas Knehans, and percussion with James Culley and Allen Otte. He holds prior degrees in composition, percussion performance, and music technology/recording, and previously studied composition and percussion at the University of Indianapolis with John Berners and Paul Berns respectively. LaMont is an assistant professor at FSU where he teaches percussion lessons and ensemble, composition lessons and courses, and various courses within the music industry track.
