The GRAMMY Museum was thrilled to welcome 9x GRAMMY Award-winning and 2025 GRAMMY Award-nominated Album of the Year artist André 3000 to the Museum’s intimate 200-seat Clive Davis Theater for an evening discussing his album, New Blue Sun, his career, creative process, and more.
André Benjamin - best known as André 3000 - is one of the most revered, celebrated artists of the last three decades, an auteur whose work in music, film, fine arts, fashion, and more continues to influence the cultural landscape on a global scale. His work as one half of the iconic hip-hop duo Outkast, with Anton “Big Boi” Patton, established a brand new voice/style within rap that had never been experienced before. The 9x Grammy winning artist released his first solo album in 20 years this November 2024 – New Blue Sun, a wind focused, instrumental album that represents the next step in André’s creative evolution. Released to widespread critical acclaim, New Blue Sun became the first instrumental album to land on the Billboard Top 200 Chart and the opening track "I Swear, I Really Wanted to Make a 'Rap' Album But This Is Literally the Way the Wind Blew Me This Time," broke the record for longest song to debut on the Billboard Hot 100. It has since been nominated for 3 GRAMMY Awards – including “Album of the Year.”
