Simone Waddell Biography
Simone Waddell is an award-winning Australian artist, recognized as one of her country's leading contemporary jazz singers. Her vocal versatility allows her to seamlessly move between various musical genres, including gospel, jazz, soul, funk, pop, and R&B. Her musical career spans over three decades of achievements and accolades. She is a gifted songwriter who infuses soulful melodies with groove, can sing a heart stopping ballad, or have the entire audience dancing on their feet.
She became the first Australian to receive a scholarship to study at the prestigious Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts, where she was personally invited by former Dean Dr. Warwick Carter. She later made history by becoming the first jazz vocalist to obtain a Master's in Music Research at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music.
Her discography includes five albums, three EPs, and numerous singles. Her fifth studio album, "The Art of Collaboration," became the #1 ARIA Highest Selling Australian Jazz Album of 2022 and was entered into four Grammy categories. This unique project brought together sixty of Australia's top jazz musicians, including Tommy Emmanuel, James Morrison, and Paul Grabowsky.
Waddell has performed internationally at prestigious venues across Japan, China, Europe, and the United States. Her music is available globally, with almost seventy of her songs on China's QQ Music platform. She has collaborated with renowned artists and has participated in national tours with various performers.
Her latest single, "Calling You," was released in July 2024, and she is currently preparing several projects for 2025, including her sixth studio album "Unforgettable" and various themed shows, such as "The Great Ladies of Jazz" and performances at prestigious festivals and venues across Australia.
"Simone is an accomplished vocalist with phrasing that endorses her understanding of the lyrics. She stretches boundaries and demonstrates her mastery of vocals. This coupled with her use of dynamics and phrasing offers a compelling listening experience."
Barry O Sullivan - 2MB Fine Music Sydney
"In this crowded, noisy world of allegedly “unique” singers/performers, Simone distinguishes herself as an extraordinarily pure singer-songwriter and performer. She is an evocative lyricist, and a deeply passionate and sensitive collaborator, well-informed and confident."
George Massenburg - Iconic Grammy Award Winning Engineer
"Simone Waddell has taken a classic Phil Buckle song, "Burn For You" and made it her own. What a great sounding masterpiece it is! Simone smashed it!"
Tommy Emmanuel - World’s Greatest Acoustic Guitarist
