Artist Conversation with Jazzmeia Horn

Jazz vocalist Jazzmeia Horn and Cal Performances Executive and Artistic Director Jeremy Geffen discuss how her name came about, what drew her to scat singing, her strategy of including both standards and original compositions on her albums and why she started composing her own music, how she approaches her career as the CEO of a female-owned business and brand, and so much more in this Beyond the Stage artist talk.

This artist conversation video was recorded in conjunction with the Jazzmeia Horn performance, part of the 2020/21 Cal Performances at Home Spring Season. And join us for Jazzmeia Horn’s Dec 10, 2021 in-person concert in Zellerbach Playhouse.

Go Beyond the Stage with behind-the-scenes artist talks and interviews, lectures and public forums with UC Berkeley faculty, recommended reading, and other interesting connections to the Cal Performances At Home programs.
