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

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.

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.
