ms.semple

jazz, r&b, soul singer

ms. semple is a warm, engaging performer with a calm but captivating presence. her voice carries a quiet intensity that settles into the room and stays with people.

her melodic style is rooted in jazz, soul, and r&b, shaped by years of listening to jazz classics, instrumentals, and 90s and 00s r&b. influences such as ella fitzgerald, alicia keys, and lauryn hill have played a big part in the development of her sound, which is expressive, soulful, and unforced.

ms. semple performs as a soloist, with her guitarist, or with a carefully selected band including pianist, bassist, saxophonist, and percussionist, depending on the setting and request.

her performances are relaxed and intuitive, influenced by the music she loves, with a free-flowing approach. she sings to enhance moments, create atmosphere, and leave people feeling something long after the music ends.
