Last week, Batiste was nominated in six categories for the 2024 Grammy Awards. His nods included Album of the Year for World Music Radio, Record of the Year for “Worship,” and Song of the Year for “Butterfly,” which was also nominated for Best American Roots Performance. His other nominations include Best Jazz Performance for “Movement 18′ (Heroes)” and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance for his appearance on Lana Del Rey’s “Candy Necklace.”
World Music Radio arrived in August with featured appearances from Lil Wayne, Jon Bellion, JID, NewJeans, Native Soul, Kenny G, Leigh-Anne, and more. Batiste recently appeared in conversation with Gucci Mane at Rolling Stone‘s first-ever Musicians on Musicians live event, where he shared: “I think you could make some great stuff and be super happy in your life. We got to stop that myth of the tortured artist.”
