Identity
“I find in writing songs that I’m often walking that thin line – I’m trying to make a personal, individual experience universal,” muses singer-songwriter Lisa Marie Simmons.
Lisa Marie Simmons is a multi-disciplinary storyteller—singer/songwriter (Ropeadope), essayist (Huffington Post, Kweli Journal), and published poet based in Italy. She fronts the ensemble NoteSpeak, which debuted in America at the Zee Jaipur Literature Festival and has toured internationally. NoteSpeak 12 (2023) earned a five-star DownBeat review and won Best Spoken Word Album at the World Entertainment Awards. Lisa’s work spans continents, from the Jaipur Music Stage in India to a U.S. tour supported by the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. She was a speaker and performer at the 70th Conference on World Affairs at the University of Colorado and co-hosted DAWTA The Podcast, exploring adoption and identity. She co-wrote an adoption-focused essay for Harvard Law’s Bill of Health. In 2024, she collaborated with artist Phoebe Boswell, creating an ekphrastic poem, Portraits in Paradox, for Sentient I – VI, exhibited at Wentrup Gallery’s 20-year anniversary show.

Lisa Marie Simmons - Notespeak 12 A storyteller, an essayist and an impressive singer/songwriter, equipped with an expressive speaking and singing voice. The conclusion and the highlight of this Soul Voices!5 Stars Olaf Maikopf JAZZTHETIK Magazin, Münster DE
Notespeak 12 is top-end poetry and top-end jazz, so poet Lisa Marie Simmons and composer Marco Cremaschini set themselves a high bar. But they have succeeded, just like they did on the earlier album Notespeak: Amori e Tragedie In Musica (Ropeadope), a succès d'estime and something of a cult hit following its release in 2020.”4 Stars Chris May- All About Jazz
