Dutch singer-songwriter and producer SIMONE embraces you with her charm and soulful voice.
But don’t get too comfortable yet; her songs can get quite dystopian. 

Simone ten Brinke is a creative spirit with a vivid imagination. Her lyrics balance on the edge of fantasy, but never too far from reality. Inspired by Sci-Fi movies from the fifties and sixties, her songs bring a nostalgic and comic tone to serious topics.
Musical influences are EW&F, Stevie Wonder and Erykah Badu.
Simone’s experience in musical theatre drove her to make a Bob Fosse-inspired dance video for a yet to be released track.

On August 9 ’24 she released the single “Amsterdam”. In this post-apocalyptic song, Amsterdam has become a sunken city due to the rising sea levels. 

Dive into this soulful funk ballad as you swim across mermaids, monsters and memories.

“SIMONE just released this new track and is steadily building her online presence. She

surrounded herself with some great musicians: Yoràn Vroom on drums, Hugo den Oudsten

on Bass, Timothy Banchet on keys and featuring the young horn player Suzan Veneman.”
