Jonathan Butler
GRAMMY®-nominated singer-songwriter/guitarist Jonathan Butler was born in South Africa under the shadow of apartheid and raised in poverty. While still a teenager, his first single broke down racial barriers, becoming the first song by a non-white artist to be played on South African radio. He went on to earn multiple GRAMMY nominations and recognition for his music and his humanitarian work.
LATEST RELEASE
Release date: April 28, 2023
Legendary singer-songwriter Jonathan Butler traveled back to his home country of South Africa to craft his most exciting and deeply personal album to date. Featuring producer/bassist Marcus Miller, Ubuntu is a reintroduction of Butler’s life story, going back 60 years to his upbringing in apartheid-era Capetown, which shaped his world view, prompted years of advocacy and instilled the ideology of ‘Oneness’ (Ubuntu). Featuring special guests Keb’ Mo’ and Stevie Wonder, the new album serves both as a rebirth of musical creativity and reconciliation with systemically biased history to forge a brighter future.
