Nessi Gomes is a British-Portuguese songwriter born on the island of Guernsey. Her music doesn’t try to lift you above life. It walks you straight into it. She writes with a quiet intensity, where beauty sits beside fear, where longing doesn’t ask to be solved, and where the darker corners are given air, not shame.
There are flecks of her Portuguese roots in the way she moves through feeling, the ache, the longing, the stubborn hope, but nothing about her is performance. She writes to know herself. She sings to stay honest. Music became the space where she could exist on her own terms, after years of feeling caught between cultures and never quite 'fitting' anywhere else.
Her debut album Diamonds & Demons opened a door. Since then, she has shared her work internationally, in rooms big and small, always choosing presence over polish, truth over pretence.
Nessi is currently writing her second album, leaning deeper into shadow, tenderness, and the quiet courage it takes to stay open in a hardening world.
