After winning three GRAMMYs – Best Jazz Performance, Best Jazz Vocal Album and the auspicious Best New Artist award – and selling out her EFG London Jazz Festival show in 2023, Samara Joy returns in 2024 for her first ever UK tour.

Experience the next jazz singing sensation, with a voice that’s rich and velvety yet precociously refined. Her fans include Anita Baker and Regina King, as well as millions of likes on TikTok – cementing her status as perhaps the first Gen Z jazz singing star.

With Linger Awhile, her GRAMMY-Award winning and chart-topping album, the 23-year-old makes her case to join the likes of Sarah, Ella, and Billie as the next jazz singing sensation recorded by the venerable Verve Records.

The New York Times praised the “silky-voiced rising star” for “helping jazz take a youthful turn” while NPR All Things Considered named her a “classic jazz singer from a new generation.”
