Michelle Obama Instagram – Music has the power to heal, inspire, and transform our world. If there’s an artist who understands that, it’s @jonbatiste. Hailing from New Orleans, Jon is a singer and songwriter with many talents – and can play everything from the piano to the melodica to the guitar. He often says music is “more than entertainment – it’s a spiritual practice.” In Matthew Heineman’s American Symphony – a film that deeply moved Barack and me – we saw that on display as we learned more about Jon and Suleika’s life and love for one another. In everything he does, Jon truly wears his heart on his sleeve and his music is a soulful reminder of the power we all hold to inspire others through our art. #BlackHistoryMonth 🎶🎹
