Batiste’s participation in the Coke Studio™ program cements him as one of the music industry’s most captivating and exciting voices.

Ultimately, Batiste secured five Grammy wins, including the prestigious Album of the Year.

In 2020, he was honored with an Academy Award for Best Original Score for his work on the Disney/Pixar film SOUL, which he shared with fellow composers Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross. The score also garnered him a Golden Globe, a BAFTA, a NAACP Image Award, and a Critic’s Choice Award. Notably, Batiste became the second black composer in history, following the legendary jazz musician Herbie Hancock, to win an Academy Award for composition.

Batiste headlined the renowned 2023 New Orleans Jazz Fest this May, captivating audiences with his onstage set. Next, Batiste is set to headline the Newport Jazz Festival in August, further solidifying his status as one of the true must-see live performers of today. He is also scheduled to participate in the TODAY Show Summer Concert Series.
