Samara Cyn is a musical nomad in every sense of the word. Many might’ve first heard her through tracks like “Katana” and “WAKE UP,” caught her when Lauryn Hill brought her onstage at Jazz In The Gardens Music Festival in March 2025, or maybe even stumbled across her by chance. As it goes for many of her peers, the Tennessee native’s career path wasn’t as simple as blowing up overnight from one song.
