Louis Cato has been preparing for the spotlight since he was two years old—when he first picked up a pair of drumsticks. Raised in North Carolina, his early love for music was shaped by gospel and contemporary Christian sounds before he went on to study at Berklee College of Music. That foundation launched him into a genre-blending career that’s as versatile as it is celebrated.
Now a Grammy-nominated multi-instrumentalist, producer, singer, and songwriter, Cato has become known for his ability to build lush, emotional soundscapes—whether he’s performing solo or collaborating with artists like Bobby McFerrin, Snarky Puppy, Jon Batiste, Q-Tip, and A Tribe Called Quest.
After years of supporting others, he stepped into the solo spotlight with his debut album Starting Now in 2017, followed by Reflections in 2023. In classic Cato fashion, he played every instrument on both albums, showcasing his musical depth and hands-on approach to production.
Alongside his solo work, Cato gained national recognition as the bandleader for The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, where his charisma, range, and musicianship shine night after night. He also built a devoted following with his popular Cato Covers series on Instagram, where he reimagines songs weekly in his signature style—intimate, soulful, and full of groove.
For Louis Cato, music isn’t just a profession—it’s his pulse. Whether on stage, in the studio, or behind the camera, he brings a joyful, magnetic energy that invites listeners into his world—one beat, one harmony, one heartfelt note at a time.
