Salvant, a 2020 MacArthur Fellow and three-time Grammy Award winner, is an artist celebrated for bringing historical depth, dramatic flair, and exceptional musical insight to jazz standards and original works. Classically trained and deeply rooted in jazz, blues, and folk traditions, Salvant also draws inspiration from musical theater and vaudeville, creating a repertoire that expands the boundaries of live performance.

She received three consecutive Grammy Awards for Best Jazz Vocal Album for The Window, Dreams and Daggers, and For One To Love, and was nominated for the award in 2014 for her album WomanChild. Additional accolades include winning the Thelonious Monk competition in 2010 and the Doris Duke Artist Award in 2020.
