With a maturity and vocal confidence that goes well beyond her years, with a frank tone reminiscent of Nina Simone, the young singer Jazzmeia Horn arrives on the international music scene revealing an undisputed talent.
Winner of the prestigious Thelonius Monk International Vocal Jazz Competition 2015 , Jazzmeia is ready to take her place alongside today’s best jazz vocalists. Naturalness and an eye towards a modern approach to vocality are some of the characteristics of her art.
Born in Dallas in 1991, Jazzmeia Horn grew up in a musically talented family, and it was her grandmother, a jazz-loving pianist, who gave her her distinctive name. She began singing as a child, but it was after she moved to New York that the most prestigious awards and three Grammy-nominated albums arrived, jewels of classic jazz, gospel and neo-soul.
