Grammy-winning artist Jon Batiste is set to open the 2025 Super Bowl with the national anthem, showcasing his signature blend of jazz, soul, R&B, and classical influences. The New Orleans native’s performance is expected to highlight his deep connection to the anthem’s meaning and his musical heritage.
Born in Louisiana, Batiste began his musical journey at an early age, eventually earning both a bachelor’s and master’s degree in jazz performance from the Juilliard School. He gained recognition as the bandleader for The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and has since expanded his career to include film scores, solo projects, and collaborations with artists across genres.
In addition to his Grammy and Academy Award wins, Batiste’s recent accomplishments include winning Album of the Year for “We Are” and Best Music Film for “American Symphony” at the Grammy Awards. The highly anticipated Super Bowl 59, featuring the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles, will be broadcast on Fox with various streaming options available for viewers.
