Neo-soul, hip hop fusionist, Samara Cyn, is an emerging artist in Los Angeles, California with a sound that stands out from the crowd. With new, modern soul and nostalgic hip hop undertones, her southern twang cuts through the record with hints of west-coast influence and lingo. Cyn’s singing and rap combo is a breath of fresh air in a modern era that calls back to the Erykah’s and Lauryn’s. Simply put in her bios, she “makes music for ya auntie.” Her concepts are rooted in internal conflicts with self, society, and peace. While her message and raspy voice are different from the current trends, what truly sets her apart is her knack for fitting smoothly into the pockets of various styles of production with a niche in our favorite laid back tempos.

Cyn turned her early open mics into opening invitations/headlines for artists and venues such as Teddy Swims, Tory Lanez, SuperDuperKyle, House of Blues Houston, Valley Bar, & Crescent Ballroom Phoenix.

Cyn has named some of her inspirations to be Lauryn Hill, Erykah Badu, Missy Elliot, JID, and Kendrick Lamar. She’s currently a recording artist/ songwriter based in L.A. and hailing all the way from Tennessee. Read more on Last.fm.
