Akeylah Simone and Monday Funk

How might one describe an artist that records and performs in the genre she 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 & Jazz. Her personal, poetic style of writing in addition to her sultry, soulful vocals will have you entranced. In just her first two years of releasing original music, she’s landed 5 songs on the Grammy Ballot, voted Encore’s 2021 Best Solo Artist, ISSA’s 2022 Female Rising Star and 2023 Best R&B/ Soul Artist of Veer Magazine. She’s also had numerous nominations across various publications including Best New Artist (Soul Tracks Reader’s Choice Awards,) and Song of the Year & Best R&B/ Soul (Veer Awards.) https://akeylahsimone.com
