Jonathan Michael Batiste, born on November 11, 1986, in Metairie, Louisiana, emerged from a prominent New Orleans musical family. His early musical journey began at age eight playing percussion with the Batiste Brothers Band, transitioning to classical piano at eleven. He pursued his passion at the Juilliard School, earning both Bachelor and Master of Music degrees in jazz studies by 2011. Even before completing his studies, Batiste had already begun performing internationally, with notable appearances in South Africa, London, and Paris by 2006, and a debut at the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam in 2007, where he produced and performed his own show.
Batiste’s career ascended with the formation of his band, Stay Human, in 2005. The band gained national recognition after being appointed as the house band for “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” in 2015, a role Batiste held until 2022. This platform allowed him to perform with diverse artists and further popularize his concept of “love riots”—impromptu street performances aimed at fostering human connection. Beyond his television presence, Batiste has a prolific recording career, releasing multiple albums, including “Social Music” (2013), which topped jazz charts, and the critically acclaimed “We Are” (2021), which earned him five Grammy Awards, including Album of the Year. His artistic range extends to film, notably co-composing the score for Disney/Pixar’s “Soul” (2020), which garnered an Academy Award, Golden Globe, and BAFTA, making him only the second Black composer to win an Oscar in that category.
Throughout his career, Batiste has consistently blended genres, bridging jazz, R&B, soul, hip hop, and pop, collaborating with artists such as Stevie Wonder, Prince, Willie Nelson, Lana Del Rey, and Ed Sheeran. His commitment to social activism is evident in his support for civil rights and the Black Lives Matter movement, drawing from his family’s history in the struggle against racial segregation. He organized peaceful protests in New York City and supports organizations like the Equal Justice Initiative and the Innocence Project. Batiste’s recent projects include the documentary “American Symphony” (2023), chronicling the composition of his first symphony, and his role as Billy Preston in the film “Saturday Night” (2024), for which he also composed the score. His ongoing work continues to expand the boundaries of music and advocacy.
