BTS’s V Has Been Speaking With Legendary Jazz Musician Jon Batiste, And ARMYs Want A Collab
Many people look up to BTS‘s V, but he recently got the chance to talk to one of his own role models!
While V has been impressing fans with his vocals for years, he’s also interested in other types of musical performance. He especially loves playing the trumpet, and he gave fans a glimpse into his trumpet practice on BTS In the SOOP 2.
V is also quite fond of jazz music, and he often recommends jazz songs to ARMY on Twitter and Weverse.

Recently, V caught the eye of musician Jon Batiste.
Jon Batiste is an incredibly versatile musician, and he’s worked with artists in many genres, including Stevie Wonder, Prince, Willie Nelson, Lenny Kravitz, and Ed Sheeran. He co-composed the score for Pixar‘s Soul, and he won an Academy Award, Golden Globe Award, and BAFTA Film Award for his work on Soul.
