You may already know that Jon Batiste's 11 current GRAMMY nominations make him the most nominated artist at the 2022 GRAMMYs, officially known as the 64th GRAMMY Awards. But did you know that his music career dates back to when he was just an 8-year-old drummer for his family band? Or did you know that he collaborated with Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails on the score for Disney's/Pixar's Soul?
A week ago, knowledge like this was hard to come across for music fans. But with the help of over 20 million articles and artificial intelligence (AI), a lot can change in a week. IBM partnered closely with the Recording Academy to develop GRAMMY Insights with IBM Watson, an AI technology that analyzes millions of articles about past and current GRAMMY-nominated artists and delivers thousands of meaningful insights about GRAMMY-nominated artists like Batiste.
IBM Watson transforms millions of data points into interesting, bite-sized insights about each artist, which are then made available during the GRAMMY Live Pre-Show and on the artist pages across GRAMMY.com, ultimately bringing music fans closer to the artists they love. Now, finding IBM-powered insights about your favorite artists is as simple as searching their name on GRAMMY.com.
