Jon Batiste
Jon Batiste is a seven-time Grammy and Academy Award–winning singer, songwriter, and composer. His ninth studio album, Big Money, was released on August 22 via Verve/Interscope, featuring collaborations with No I.D., Randy Newman, and Andra Day, and was supported by a national headlining run, The Big Money Tour: Jon Batiste Plays America, which kicked off on August 27 with more than 30 stops nationwide.
Big Money capped a landmark year for Batiste, which included his Super Bowl performance and the chart-topping success of his album Beethoven Blues, which spent nine weeks at No. 1 on Billboard’s Classical Albums chart. His 2023 album, World Music Radio, earned five Grammy nominations, including Album of the Year. That same year, Batiste also received an Oscar nomination and Grammy win for his song “It Never Went Away,” from the Netflix documentary AMERICAN SYMPHONY, which follows him as he is celebrated with 11 Grammy nominations, including Album of the Year, for his 2021 studio album We Are while navigating the return of his wife’s long-dormant cancer. His accolades also include an Academy Award for Pixar’s SOUL and a seven-year tenure as bandleader and musical director of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
