Simone Kopmajer
She has soul and a very special, charismatic sound in her voice that gives each 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 a name known to lovers of sophisticated and refined jazz music.
Her enthusiasm and love for music were awakened at a very young age. She began singing at eight, sang in her father's band at twelve—her father was a music school director and a big jazz fan—and at sixteen, she was admitted to the University of Music and Performing Arts in Graz, where she was accepted 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 debuted 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 gradually distanced herself 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 touch that simply moves people. Her sound lies somewhere between jazz, swing, and tasteful pop. Although her music is very relaxed, fluid, and elegant, it is also playful and varied—these multifaceted aspects distinguished her early on from similar formats and made her music all the more interesting.
