Braxton Cook is an Emmy Award–winning, two-time Grammy Award–winning, NAACP Image Award–nominated artist known for his world-class skills as an alto saxophonist, vocalist, songwriter, producer, and composer. With a blend of jazz, soul, and alt-R&B, he has carved out a unique, melodic sound that has made him one of the most exciting voices of his generation. His decidedly individual 21^st-century approach integrates contemporary and post-bop jazz, soul, funk, rap, and even gospel.

Cook’s solo career took off with the release of his debut EP Sketch and the subsequent album Somewhere In Between, which earned widespread acclaim. He has performed at Coachella and international jazz festivals and collaborated with Grammy-winning artists including Rihanna, Solange, and Jon Batiste, performing on his soundtrack for Pixar’s Oscar-winning film Soul. His most recent release, “Not Everyone Can Go,” is the second single from his forthcoming album set to release in late summer 2025.
