Akeylah Simone
February 26 • 6:30 p.m.

How might one describe an artist who records and performs in the genre she's feeling that day? An artist you go to see and don’t know exactly what to expect …except that you’re going to feel good. Real good. Akeylah Simone, from Hampton Roads, VA is that artist. Akeylah Simone delivers a stunning performance in the studio and on the stage by fusing genres from Neo-Soul Rock, R&B, Pop and Jazz. Her personal, poetic style of writing in addition to her sultry, soulful vocals will have you entranced.
