ABOUT SIMONE KOPMAJER
Simone grew up in a family of musicians and started singing in her father’s band at age 12. At the same time she studied the piano, but singing remained her main passion. With her charisma and talent, Simone Kopmajer manages to give her songs a very specific emotional, charming and in-depth note, which simply touches people. Her sound is located somewhere between jazz, swing and tasteful pop. Although her music is very relaxed, flowing and elegant, it is also very playful and varied – these multilayered facets distinguished her early off from similar formats and made her music all the more interesting.
Simone Kopmajer has worked with George Mraz, Victor Lewis, Houston Person, Dick Oatts, Richie Goods, Eric Alexander, Ira Sullivan, Terry Myers, John di Martino, and many more.
