Arnaé Batson is a Grammy-nominated singer, songwriter and song leader who uses music to create spiritual pathways for health and wholeness while advocating for progressive social change. Her dedication to racial and environmental justice is an extension of her work with the internationally acclaimed ensemble, Sweet Honey In The Rock.
 
Arnaé is artistic director for the Hearts Afire Community Choir and the Voices Raised LA Vocal Collective, two grassroots a capella groups based in Los Angeles. She also contributes original compositions to the Theomusicology working group of the California Poor People’s Campaign. Over the past year, Arnaé has expanded her reach into worldwide audiences through numerous online vocal workshops.  
 
She has made a collection of virtual choir videos of original songs composed to address the impact of current-day issues, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, racial protests, US elections, and the insurrection at the US Capitol. Arnaé believes that leading people in song can reawaken joy, build true connections, and provide the musical salve necessary for the healing of personal and social wounds for all who are willing. The SSING Network is her non-profit organization that empowers her passion for “Sharing Songs and Inspiring Neighborhood Gatherings” throughout the global community of singing enthusiasts.
