Renowned for her warm, powerful voice and captivating stage presence, Bowe will deliver an unforgettable musical experience at the event, which will be held on Sunday, December 8, 2024, at the Loews Coral Gables Hotel, starting at 11:30 a.m.
With a career spanning decades, the talented singer has become celebrated for her soulful and versatile artistry across genres including jazz, reggae, R&B, and gospel. Her musical roots run deep, beginning with performances in school and church productions, community choirs, and recitals before distinguished audiences, including Bahamian government leaders.
Bowe has continued to hone her craft as a worship leader, songwriter, and recording artist. She has performed alongside gospel music icons such as Donnie McClurkin, Andrae Crouch, and Ron Kenoly. Her career has taken her from intimate local stages to performances in the United States and Nigeria.
In The Bahamas, Bowe’s rich vocals have complemented bands such as Funk Creation and Jazz Etcetera, captivating audiences with her heartfelt interpretations of both classic and contemporary hits. Her versatility and dynamic performances have earned her acclaim as one of the Caribbean’s most engaging artists.
“Simmone Bowe embodies the spirit of the Caribbean with her musical warmth, power, and emotional depth,” said Bevan Springer, President of CMEx. “We are honored to have her headline the 2024 CMEx Awards, where she will not only entertain but also inspire our audience with the same passion and energy she has brought to stages worldwide.”
