​

Her voice, rich and velvety yet precociously refined, has already earned her fans like Anita Baker and Regina King, in addition to millions of likes on TikTok — cementing her status as perhaps the first Gen Z jazz singing star.

 

In February 2023, Samara Joy took home two GRAMMYs - Best Jazz Vocal Album and the auspicious Best New Artist award.

Black Violin is mixing jazz, hip-hop, funk, and classical music together live at the Florida Theatre this fall.

To most people, jazz, hip-hop, funk, and classical are musical genres. But to revolutionary music group Black Violin, they're nothing but ingredients.

 

After graduating from high school, both Wilner Baptiste (Wil B) and Kevin Sylvestor (Kev Marcus) were granted full music scholarships to college, Florida State and Florida International University respectively.

 

Combining a daunting array of musical styles and influences to produce a signature sound that is not quite maestro, not quite emcee, the two classically trained violinists Kev and Wil alongside their DJ are redefining the music world-one string at a time.
