Jazzmeia Horn

Jazzmeia Horn is an accomplished artist, designer, singer and composer. Her vocal skills have been compared to the style of iconic jazz women such as Betty Carter, Sarah Vaughan and Nancy Wilson. She was nominated three times for a GRAMMY Award for Best Jazz Vocal Album and won the prestigious NAACP Image Award for her album Love & Liberation. Born in Texas in 1991, Horn grew up in a creative and spiritual family and was introduced to singing by her grandmother, a gospel pianist passionate about jazz. Even if she sings from an early age, it is only in high school that she develops an interest in jazz. Introduced to Sarah Vaughan by her music teacher, Horn fell in love with Vaughan’s style and worked hard to learn his phrasing and inflection. Jazzmeia Horn tries to understand how the songs could be in tune with what is true for her and what is true in her reality as a black woman, but also be relatable to all those who are not part of her culture. Her songs speak of love in many ways, love for her community, love for her culture, love for her partner, love for her children and love for herself, they are love letters addressed to everyone!
