Simone Seales Biography
Originally from Florida, Simone Seales is a Glasgow-based cellist and performance artist working with free improvisation, live looping, poetry, and theatre.
Their practice centres play, silliness, and connection, exploring sound as an embodiment of emotion. Their creative influences come from Black feminist leaders such as Audre Lorde, Assata Shakur and bell hooks. Within Simone's work, they centre Blackness, sexuality, intersectional feminism and anti-racism.
They were commissioned by the 2025 Edinburgh International Book Festival to perform 'Dearest' with Mele Broomes, ahead of the album’s debut release in November 2025.
They are Musician in Residence with Paraorchestra, and have performed across the UK and internationally.
Collaborations have taken place with authors Cecilia Knapp and Gemma Cairney, multidisciplinary artists Laura Fisher, Mele Broomes and Thulani Rachia, and musicians, Young Fathers, All Men Unto Me, Flo Perlin, LAU and Aidan O'Rourke.
