I spent the last 2 years of my life, collecting the fractals of my soul with pen, paper and guitar. Gathering them into songs. Notes, chords, lyrics. Often passing through the dark night of the artist. Melting my own demons and turning them into diamonds.

Many of you were there with me all along the road. Holding my hand and keeping an eye on me. Inspiring me and believing in me regardless of my own doubts. Together we have traveled back and forth. Together in those white nights. Together in those cloudy and bright days.

Today, I am thanking you all for being with me along the way. In the real currency of friendship I do feel immensely rich. 

Yet, to be able to share this music, to somehow be able to help others through my own long and windy road as a human being. To deliver this delicate frequency to the world out there, to be heard, to inspire, to make a difference somehow - some serious financial support is needed. 

In a way, my community is my record label. Each one of you can have a share in the manifestation of this sweat dream. Simply by Pre-ordering my album.


Without a Record Label behind you, making this all manifest is not an easy mission, nor is it cheap.  (There is a breakdown of the budget further down). This amount generated will cover the cost of:

  • Recording, arranging, mixing, mastering, artwork, manufacturing and distributing the project (the album + the remixes album). 
  • 2 professional video clips plus other visual material. 
  • Basic PR & marketing, including a new website. 
  • Credit Card and Indiegogo’s fees, and creating and posting your gifts.
  • Summer tour in Europe
  • 6 months radio promotion.

I warmly invite you to share the campaign with your friends (via FB, email or the old school 'word of mouth').  This would be a massive help. Share the campaign with all of your dear ones. Share this beautiful vision. 

For now, you are welcome to:

  • Read the important info below. 
  • And, if you wish to Pre-order the album then check on the right side for the amount you wish to choose and the corresponding list of perks.

I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I love you all beyond words.  

Nessi. 

Please welcome the adorable list of magicians/musicians that coloured my project and graced me with their instruments and spirit:

Duncan Bridgman (centre picture):  Musical producer & musical godfather

Viktoria Mullova (Clockwise from top right corner): Violin 

Matthew Barley: Cello

Misha Mullov-Abbado: Double bass

Cosmo Sheldrake: Glockenspiel

Merlin Sheldrake: Accordion

Dave Randel: Electric Guitar

Lino Hermesh: Production

Rainer Scheurenbrand (3rd up left side): Guitars

Nigel Butler: Music Production support, arrangement

Danit Treubig: Vocals

Jonas Winter: Guitar and vocals

Nick Barbachano: Guitar, Waira


So.... This is where your generous support will go towards:


If you are unable to Pre-order at this time, not to worry! you can still help in several  important ways:

  • direct people to my IndieGogo page.
  • share the campaign video on your FB page.
  • email your friends and family around the world (this system works the best).
  • tell music magazines/websites/blogs/other relevant pro's about my project.
  • tell your friends directly (old school style.... offline). 

Any noise you can make to let others know is a beautiful sound! Thank you! There are wonderful and easily accessed tools on IndieGogo that will help you share this campaign . 

Regardless of the amount that the fundraising campaign will generate, I am committed to send to you guys all the rewards by the beginning of 2016. I appreciate your trust and good spirit in that matter. If we don't reach the funding goal I will still get the album out, but would have to compromise on things like the artwork, publicity and clips.
With any question regarding the music, the rewards or any other issue - do not hesitate! Email me to: nessigomesmusic@gmail.com     

"Trying to describe Nessi Gomes is like trying to describe a new flavor that nobody has tried before... She completely captivates her audience until they are drinking in her words and eating out of the palm of her hand".

Born on the tiny island of Guernsey, Portuguese-British singer/songwriter Nessi Gomes channels influences from both sides of her ethnicity, blending the essence of traditional Portuguese Fado folk music with modern British inspiration. Fuelled by a belief in the transformative quality of music, her songwriting is infused with her personal journey and characterised by a haunting beauty that transcends, nourishes and disarms.

Nessi’s creative turning point took place four years ago upon settling in the forests of South and Central America. The psychedelic nature of the continent has reshaped her songs. Her heartbreaking voice started reflecting a nakedly honest, multi-faceted portrait of her world, where darkness & light dance together, challenges are transcended and mysteries revealed.

Now back in London, Nessi is completing her first album, 'Long Way Home', due to be released in October 2015. It is produced by Duncan Bridgeman (creator of ‘1 Giant Leap’) and features the accompaniment of top musicians including Viktoria Mullova, Mathew Barley, Cosmo Sheldrake, Dave Randel, Nigel Butler and Rainer Scheurenbrand.

The deep inner work in the forest carved the way for an album that communicates, blends and bridges different influences, from the vocal witches of the West such as Kate Bush and Bjork, all the way to the forest creatures and plants of the Amazon.
