Simone Hines is weaving a web of PURE SOUL that blends bits of soul and alternative funk with bursts of hip hop grooves. A musical storyteller, Simone is on a mission to be heard. She is an affecting young singer with a dynamic five-octave range and a prolific songwriter.
Hailing from New Jersey, Simone can't remember her life without music. She started singing at the age of three, adopting the sounds of Minnie Riperton, Phyllis Hyman, Phoebe Snow and Stevie Wonder into her world. Her fine-tuned instrument of a voice invokes Rachelle Ferrell's jazz/r&b savvy, Whitney Houston's pop-gospel poignancy, Aretha's soul bravado, with Mary J.'s street sensibility. Yet despite such impressive comparison's, the deep quality and stylish substance of Simone Hines are undeniably her own. From local clubs like Manhattan's Chaz and Wilson's and The Village Underground, and many other noted venues, Simone has already left deep impressions with her urgent, irresistible, soulful, powerful delivery.
Simone has a resume that continues to grow: background vocalist for Michael Bolton, performances at the famed Apollo Theater, the Democratic Convention, featured vocals on Puff Daddy's No Way Out, Fun featured on Fun Lovin Criminals singles, 'The Biz' and 'Swashbucklin in Brooklyn'--and a stint with Epic Records. And now she adds actor to her long list of credits, as she is currently starring in several independent films and theater productions!
Currently, she is writing and co-producing original songs which she hopes will be "like a breath of fresh air", bringing that old soul feeling back. Look for her to be a force within the music industry. Check for her. Simone is a class act with a platinum future. Let her weave the pieces of her life for all to see. Stop; listen to a story, Her story.
