Thought I'd let you guys know about a client of mine. Performing at the launch event for Music Revolution at Proud Camden this Sunday, Simone Michelle is a South London born self confessed Singer / Storyteller.
From her unique style of song writing, to singing and even her individual dress sense there is a story to be found. She pays attention to life’s narratives and tells stories that strike a cord within her, and already the hearts of many.
From her unique style of song writing, to singing and even her individual dress sense there is a story to be found. She pays attention to life’s narratives and tells stories that strike a cord within her, and already the hearts of many.
Whether it be personal, topical, or light hearted she has a way of giving each song its own stage, by drawing the listener in and taking them on a journey. She says, " I see each song as an individual piece of theatre, every word I write has a part to play and an emotion to express. I sing according to how the story makes me feel". Many of Simone’s songs look at the contradiction, imperfections, the light and dark of situations and the struggle; whilst celebrating the light at the end of the tunnel, and always evoking an underlying theme of hope.
Simone loves to explore and doesn’t see her self as tied to one genre, though her sound has a strong sense of pop, alternative and soul. Some of her favourite artists include Jill Scott, Alanis Morissette, Ella Fitzgerald and Nina Simone. Writing and singing from a young age Simone naturally drew on the influences of a creative and musical family.
Recently pursuing her music career has been a refreshing and scary adventure. But one she is all too willing to embark upon. Her debut song Beautiful Scars is her personal anthem of how she views certain aspects of life. The chorus; ‘your life brings beautiful scars…’ is a comment on the effects of living and rising after a fall of any capacity. She says; " we’re all marked by our experiences, good and bad. But the real turning point is when we are able to turn the bad experiences into something quite beautiful; growth".
Simone Michelle is an exciting new talent with a beautifully distinctive voice that strikes at your very core, and refreshing lyrical contents that capture your attention as you are led on a journey. She is a definite one to watch out for as she is set to make her mark on the industry at large.
