A number one album and a double Grammy-win in 2023 put jazz vocalist Samara Joy on the map, officially establishing the Bronx native as the next jazz sensation and a legend in the making, with frequent comparisons to Ella Fitzgerald and Sarah Vaughan. Fresh from another double win at the 2025 Grammys, Joy makes her much-anticipated debut at London's legendary Royal Albert Hall backed by a full orchestra, introducing audiences to her electric combination of youthful energy and old-soul musical style with unique twists on classic songs and genres ranging from bossa nova to the Great American Songbook.
