JORJA<br />
SMITH<br />
STAYS LOST<br />
IN THE STARS<br />
By Jordan Yeager<br />
ORJA<br />
Jorja Smith emanates self-assured<br />
grace and confidence,<br />
an embodiment of the duality<br />
of being both soft-spoken and<br />
completely badass. The young<br />
singer is contemplative, poised,<br />
and to the point, carefully handpicking<br />
words to convey the<br />
thoughts spinning around the<br />
heights of her Gemini mind.<br />
Though her ascent to stardom<br />
might seem sudden, Smith<br />
has been hard at work for years.<br />
She started writing songs and<br />
playing keyboard as a child;<br />
some tracks off her debut album<br />
Lost & Found were written<br />
when she was 16. She’s 21 now.<br />
“My parents always encourage<br />
me to do what I love and<br />
follow my dreams,” says Smith.<br />
