Jonathan Butler

Jonathan Butler released his first album at age 12 and was awarded the South African “Grammy” for Best New Artist. He made history by being the first black artist played on white South African radio while earning three gold records at age 13 (“Please Stay” went double gold and “I Love How You Love Me” went gold). More than a decade later, Jonathan moved to London and released his first album internationally, which also went gold. He received Grammy Award nominations for Best R and B Song for his R and B/pop vocal hit “Lies” and for Best Jazz Song for the instrumental “Going Home.” His genre-busting music earned songwriter’s awards and received abundant airplay in multiple radio formats. Jonathan’s long-awaited record Ubuntu, produced by Marcus Miller, was released in 2023. Jonathan remains a musical icon today in South Africa and around the world.
