Fae Simon is a soulful Jazz singer, a gifted song-writer and a vocal performance instructor with over 15 years of on-stage experience.
Formally trained in Opera and Jazz, Fae’s performance style fuses these traditional genres with Hip-hop, Rare Groove, Soul and Dub – a unique sound that electrifies audiences when she performs with her live band.
Her debut album, ‘Mellowdrama’, was released via online download in 2009 – and established a solid following among underground soul clubs in the UK, France, Spain, and Germany.
Songs about the highs and lows of intense relationships - with romantic partners (Fly Love), family members (Sistar) and even her hometown (New Londinium) – gave audiences their first glimpse of a song-writing talent that had already been many years in the making. A stand-out track, ‘Hard Enough’, is the ultimate salute to every unsigned artist who embraces the lifelong commitment to persist and to hustle and to make things happen, despite life’s daily obstacles.
Over the years she has supported, collaborated, performed and toured with a broad range of successful artists across the UK and Europe - including N´Dambi, Yarah Bravo, Jehst, Get Cape Wear Cape Fly, Pharoah Monche, MF Doom & Madlib and The legendary Beatnuts.
Her second album ‘Outrospective’ (BBE) is a critique on the tensions between art and industry, communities and authorities, past and present, balance and imbalance. Released in February 2015; Fae´s first single ´Magic City´, with remixes from Inkswel, Mr. Bird and P.O.G. has been a successful introduction to the label.
A dynamic and adaptable performer, with a clear and powerful voice; Fae is available for gig and festival bookings.
