‘Daisy Jones and the Six’: Nabiyah Be’s Simone Jackson Was a ‘Mixture’ of 3 Famous Singers

Amazon’s new miniseries Daisy Jones & the Six clearly draws from the turbulent excellence that defined the peak years of Fleetwood Mac. But the adaptation of Taylor Jenkins Reid’s 2019 novel also uses the careers of other important artists of the era for inspiration. The character of Simone Jackson (Nabiyah Be) was based on the stardom of three timeless singers from the 1970s. Her plotline takes the same shape in the TV version as it does in the book. But the screen highlights certain details to heighten the emotional stakes of Simone’s story.

Simone is one of the few people with a pure relationship with Daisy (Riley Keough) from the beginning of Daisy Jones & the Six. They serve as necessary cheerleaders for each other. Simone is a singer herself, though mostly in a background role for other artists, and Daisy encourages her to go solo full-time. In response, Simone is the first person that notices Daisy’s talent and gives her the confidence to perform her own music instead of trying to exploit her as others did.
