In the two years since Jazzmeia Horn bowed with her first album, the GRAMMY Award-Nominated 'A Social Call', she’s been very busy performing on international tours and honing her vocal skills to a finely tuned level while writing songs of personal relevance and social message.

The convergence of this drive and development has resulted in her 2019 record —The Grammy Nominated and NAACP Image Award-Winning 'Love and Liberation' — filled with songs of daring musicality, emotional power, and messages of immediate relevance.

She was also nominated for the Album of the Year award at the Jazz FM Awards 2020 with OANDA, missing out to Yazz Ahmed for 'Polyhymnia'.
