Jazzmeia Horn

Fri, Dec 06

“Horn is among the most exciting young vocalists in jazz, with a proud traditionalism that keeps her tightly linked to the sound of classic figures like Nancy Wilson and Betty Carter, but a vivacity of spirit and conviction that places her firmly in the present.” — The New York Times Jazzmeia Horn, named by her jazz-loving grandmother, was born in Dallas, Texas, in 1991. She grew up in a close church-going family, singing gospel music. Ms. Horn graduated from Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts, which was attended by other great artists such as Roy Hargrove, Norah Jones, and Erykah Badu. 2009, she enrolled at The School of Jazz at The New School in New York City. Ms. Horn won the 2013 Sarah Vaughan International Jazz Vocal Competition and the 2015 Thelonious Monk Institute International Jazz Competition and, shortly after, was signed by Concord Records. In 2017, she released her debut album, A Social Call, which was nominated for a Grammy Award. Ms. Horn continued to tour nationally and internationally, honing her vocal, performance, and writing skills to convey her message about the global need for love and social change. In 2019, she released Love and Liberation, which also received a Grammy nomination. The following year, she published her book Strive From Within The Jazzmeia Horn Approach while recording her big band album, Dear Love. Dear Love, an album of encouragement through poetry and spoken word addressing the aspects of her community, her love, and herself, was released in September 2021.
