Jazzmeia Horn — A fitting name for award-winning vocalist - The Bay State Banner

Jazzmeia Horn is a vocalist and composer nominated twice for Grammy awards, most recently in 2019 for “Love and Liberation,” her second album. That album also led to Horn being named the winner of a 51st NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Jazz Album in 2020. For the 29-year-old originally from Dallas, Texas, stardom may be early, but it derives from her talent and hard work. The Banner caught up with her by phone on a cold winter morning from her home in the Bronx
