Unfortunately, his website is down but this is where it would be (http://christianscott.tv/). 

Some general info from his Wikipedia page: 

"Christian Scott, also known as Christian aTunde Adjuah (born March 31, 1983, in New Orleans, Louisiana is an American jazz trumpeter, composer and producer. 

Christian Scott was born to Cara Harrison and Clinton Scott III and also has a twin brother, Kiel. At the age of 13 he was given the chance to play with his uncle, jazz alto saxophonist Donald Harrison.[2] By 14, he was accepted into the New Orleans Center of Creative Arts where he studied jazz under the guidance of program directors, Clyde Kerr, Jr. and Kent Jordan. 

Once he graduated NOCCA, Scott received a scholarship to attend Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts. Between 2004 and 2006, while attending Berklee, he was member of the Berklee Monterey Quartet, and recorded as part of the Art:21 student cooperative quintet,[4] and studied under the direction of Charlie Lewis, Dave Santoro, and Gary Burton. He majored in professional music with a concentration in film scoring. 

His debut album for Concord Records, Rewind That, received a Grammy nomination. Scott received the Edison Award in 2010 and 2012. 

Since 2002, Scott has released eight studio albums, and two live recordings." 

A few little bits I'll add: 

While the most prominent feature in his music is Jazz, he takes heavy influences from a wide variety of genres including: post-rock, prog rock, hip-hop, electronic, etc. His music is sometimes referred to as stretch music, for its large breadth of styles. He has performed with Atoms for Peace several times. His signature sound is the whisper technique.
