Coco Jones, Laufey & Samara Joy Bring Wisdom & New Music to 2025 GRAMMY U Conference In NYC
In collaboration with the Recording Academy and Grammy U, Coco Jones, Laufey, Lawrence & Samara Joy discussed different music industry career paths.
On Friday and Saturday (April 25-26), hundreds of young professionals got a look behind the veil of the music industry with some help from Grammy winners Coco Jones, Samara Joy and Laufey — as well as the Recording Academy’s New York chapter.

Band members Clyde Lawrence, Jordan Cohen and Jonny Koh projected their ProTools sessions and broke down how Tower of Power’s influence, hours of improvisation, ambitious songwriting collaborations and meticulous mixing of live and programmed drums gave way to album cuts like “Hip Replacement” and “Death of Me.”
