Diamonds & Demons is the debut album by the British-Portuguese musician Nessi Gomes. Ensuing tales of darkness and light allow a deeper exploration of the human condition, psyche, collective fears and torments. Born on the tiny Island of Guernsey to a Portuguese family, British singer- songwriter Nessi Gomes channels influences from both sides of her ethnicity, blending the essence of the traditional, emotional and "larger than life" Fado folk music with British contemporary inspiration.
Though spending most of her life in the Channel Islands, the turning point in Nessi’s musical expression took place six years ago when she lived in Central America. The years she spent away from her home shook her world and reshaped her writing. She shifted from the more obvious themes of love, loss and broken hearts to ruthlessly exploring her inner geography, insecurities, beauty and light that she found there.
