Apéro Jazz
About
Jamaican-Canadian singer-songwriter Sammy Jackson has quickly emerged as one of the most compelling young voices on Canada’s music scene, with two EPs, a full-length album, and a 2021 Juno Awards win for Vocal Jazz Album of the Year. She has performed on major stages including the Festival International de Jazz de Montréal and the Toronto Jazz Festival.
Her music blends jazz, R&B, and pop into a distinctive, personal style, shaped by both her vocal finesse and compositional voice. After her debut EP Take Me Back (2016), she gained wider recognition with With You (2020), a JUNO-winning project created in part with vocalist Jacqueline Teh and a collective of leading Canadian musicians.
Released in late 2024, her debut album In The Meantime reflects her current life as a mother, wife, and graduate student at the University of Toronto—an intimate, song-driven work where emotional honesty takes center stage.
