Born in Dallas in 1991, New York-based performer Jazzmeia Horn is a gifted jazz vocalist with an inventive, scat-influenced style that helped her win the 2015 Thelonious Monk International Vocal Jazz Competition. She is a singer who stands apart from many of her peers because she takes on every song she sings so naturally; every word, gesture, and ornament becomes an expression of her total conviction and she completely comes alive in the moment.
