Photo-Illustration: Vulture; Photo by Nina Westervelt/The New York Times/Redux Jon Batiste has no interest in fitting neatly into categories. The lifelong musician instead is engaged in what he calls a broader “humanist” project — to be as multifaceted and expressive a creator as possible, be that as a recording artist, an Oscar-winning film composer, or a bandleader for The Late Show With Stephen Colbert.
In 2018, Dua Lipa came on the show and we talked about doing a bit together. We came up with this silly elevator bit where we would ride the elevator and whoever would come into the elevator, we would make up a song in the moment about them. I had an accordion on, in an elevator, with Dua Lipa, singing to random people. And it was just like, Okay, why did we end up here?Biggest lesson from The Late Show I started on the front end of my career.
I got a master’s, so it’s almost been like getting a doctorate these last seven years in the intersection of entertainment, culture, and politics. And also having this regularity with the band and being in front of the camera, as a performer, it’s taught me all these different ways of communicating from the stage. I’ve really dialed into this level that, whenever my time at the show is done, I have so many experiences and new tools meshed into Jon Batiste.
