Earworms and songs stuck in her head

Grammy winner Samara Joy is a jazz prodigy, but her singing is rooted in gospel music. 

She tells Sam about discovering jazz in high school, her family’s famous Godmobile, and how faith shaped the artist she is today. Plus, why her music will never be touched by AI. 

Samara Joy’s latest album Portrait is out now.
