Simone Kopmajer
She has soul and a very special, charismatic sound in her voice that gives every song a certain something. Born in Schladming, Austria, Simone Kopmajer has achieved at a young age what many musicians, bands, and ensembles dream of: the start of a successful international career. In the United States, Japan, and Southeast Asia, the singer is known among lovers of sophisticated and refined jazz music.
Her enthusiasm and love for music were ignited at a very young age. She began singing at eight, sang in her father's band at twelve—who was a music school director and a great jazz fan—and was accepted into the University of Music and Performing Arts in Graz at sixteen, where she was admitted immediately due to her extraordinary talent. During her studies, she had the opportunity to collaborate with many renowned artists such as Mark Murphy, Sheila Jordan, Michele Hendricks, Jay Clayton, and the New York Voices.
In 2000, she made her debut in the USA and left a lasting impression on numerous experts and connoisseurs of contemporary jazz music. Simone Kopmajer's role models were the great voices of jazz and American show business like Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, and Jon Hendricks, but over time, the Styrian distanced herself more and more from these influences to find her own musical language.
With her charisma and incredible talent, Simone Kopmajer manages to give her songs a very special emotional, charming, and profound note that simply touches people. Her sound lies somewhere between jazz, swing, and tasteful pop. Although her music is very relaxed, flowing, and elegant, it is also very playful and varied—these multifaceted aspects set her apart from similar formats early on and made her music all the more interesting.
