Samara Joy
Born and raised in the Bronx, rising star Samara Joy’s velvety, smooth voice puts her own enchanting interpretation of jazz standards from the Great American Songbook. After winning the 2019 Sarah Vaughan International Jazz Vocal Competition at the age of 19, she released her debut album Samara Joy. As one of America’s most promising young vocalists, she has already performed in many of the great jazz venues in New York, including Jazz at Lincoln Center’s Dizzy’s Club Coca-Cola, The Blue Note, and the Apollo. On her Grammy award-winning album, Linger Awhile, 23-year-old Samara Joy makes her case to join the likes of Sarah, Ella, and Billie as the next jazz singing sensation recorded by the venerable Verve Records.
A classic jazz singer from a new generation.
