Originally from Florida, Simone Seales is a Glasgow-based cellist and performance artist. They focus on improvisation, interdisciplinary collaboration, poetry, and devising music for theatre. Through their collaborative and creative process, they prioritize play, silliness, and connection. Simone is passionate about exploring sound, how sound can reflect emotional states of being and how emotions are embodied. Their creative influences come from Black feminist leaders such as Audre Lorde, Assata Shakur and bell hooks. Within Simone's creative work, they centre Blackness, sexuality, intersectional feminism and anti-racism. They believe Western Classical musicians are capable of making meaningful social change.
