Raised in Los Angeles and having performed and collaborated over the years with artists such as Kendrick Lamar, Florence + The Machine, Snoop Dogg, Nas, and Herbie Hancock, Washington rose to international fame with his third studio album The Epic, released ten years ago to widespread acclaim. The follow-up, Heaven and Earth, cemented the saxophonist’s place in the jazz canon and further expanded his popularity across genre boundaries.
On his fifth album, Fearless Movement, released in spring 2024, Washington seeks to explore the connection between music and movement, as well as dance as a form of expression. A major inspiration during the album's creation, according to the artist, was also the birth of his child. Guest appearances on the album include George Clinton, Thundercat, DJ Battlecat, and André 3000.
