Nerissa Simmone Singer/ Session Singer/Songwriter

It depends on the booking, please feel free to discuss this with me.

I bring my own sound (PA system) to events.

Directions and loading information are crucial pieces of information

I love R&B, soul and jazz music. Singers like Jill Scott, Angie Stone and Etta James strongly influence me. The greatest song of all time is a difficult question to answer. I think there are great songs that affect great moments.

I’ve been singing 7 years. I work in the industry as a session singer, lead vocalist and backing vocalist for Pixie Lott. I’ve performed at a wide range of functions from birthday parties and weddings to BBC Radio 2 in The Park. I also have a seven piece band with whom I’ve played multiple festivals and venues across the UK.

Rather than having a favourite type of event, I love singing wherever my music can make a real difference. Being trusted with someone’s special moment is always an honour.

Usually I arrive 1-2 hours before my gigs (depending on what's required). I am happy yo create bespoke packages based on the need of my clients and the events they are hosting..

Yes, I'm happy to perform outside as long as there's access to power.

I like to discuss the setlist with the client but I do have my own repertoire that they can choose from.
