ABOUT THE ARTIST
A native of the Bronx, Samara Joy became entranced by classic R&B as a child and cut her teeth as a singer in her church’s gospel choir. During her studies at SUNY Purchase she won the 2019 Sarah Vaughan International Jazz Vocal Competition, which introduced her to the larger jazz scene as a rising star to watch.
Joy released her self-titled debut in 2021, followed a year later by Linger Awhile. The album earned her a GRAMMY for Best Jazz Vocal Album in addition to a headline-making win for Best New Artist. Her album A Joyful Holiday took home GRAMMY Awards for Best Jazz Vocal Album and Best Jazz Performance in 2025. Her new album, Portrait, showcases the intimate, soulful chemistry she’s developed with her touring band, already earning her an NAACP Image Award this year for Best Jazz Album.
