about kote

Kids of the Elephant (KOTE) saw the light of day in 2021 in Brussels (BE).

The band is a mix of musicians born from the mind of frontman William Declerck (aka William Clarx). After graduating in medicine, he decides to specialize in music.
Med tech grinder by day, soul star by night, William uses his talent for warm rhythms to stitch the funky and juicy guitar riffs together.
He writes, records, and produces all the songs in his bedroom studio.
On stage, the band turns this into a danceable performance that looks like Parcels french kissing with Daft Punk at a Jamiroquai concert on a Saturday night.

Kids of the Elephant heals the soul with carefree funk pop and feels like a natural high that you need after a long day at the office.

KOTE is William Clarx (guitar, lead vocals), Simon Cogels (keys, backing vocals), Jeremy Murphy (bass, backing vocals) and Hadrien Pierson (drums).

Kids of the Elephant made its stage debut at Brussel Brost 2021, debut single ‘Serendipity’ was released in February 2023.
The debut EP ‘As a Friend’ dropped on January 2024 in collaboration with Remy Lebbos (L'Impératrice, Girls in Hawaï) and Frederik Dejongh (Jamie Lidell, Balthazar).
