R&B Session Vocalist

Soulful, dynamic alto vocalist and songwriter influenced by artists like James Blake and Solange. Whether you need expressive toplines, lush harmonies, or clean vocal editing, I bring emotion and precision to every project. Let’s make vocals that feel alive and elevate your track.

I’m Marilyn Simone, a recent Berklee College of Music graduate, session vocalist, songwriter, and arranger. As I build my portfolio, I’m offering high-quality work at lower prices while gaining more experience on top of my already solid foundation. My primary focus is delivering expressive, professional lead and background vocals that bring songs to life. With three years of a cappella experience, I’ve developed an extensive understanding of harmony and counterpoint, giving me a strong edge in vocal arranging and crafting lush, creative background parts.

My vocal style is inspired by Jill Scott, YEBBA, Nai Palm, and Erykah Badu, blending soul, R&B, and experimental colors into performances that are both heartfelt and technically precise. I can provide everything from intimate leads to bold, layered harmonies that elevate your track.

As a songwriter and composer, I draw heavily from R&B, neo-soul, jazz, electronic, and Brazilian music, creating toplines and lyrics that are fresh, captivating, and emotionally resonant. My Berklee training in Songwriting, Electronic Performance, and Music Technology ensures that my work combines artistry with professional quality.

In addition to vocal performance and writing, I also offer vocal comping, tuning, and editing to deliver clean, polished vocals ready for the mix.
