I am a Soul Singer & Songwriter based in Los Angeles, Ca. After graduating from Berklee College of music, I've been working in LA for about 5 years and have had the opportunity to perform at various local venues such as Hotel Cafe, The Mint, The Goldfish, and Silverlake Lounge. Additionally, I've also performed for events in spaces such at Toms Flagship in Venice, Neptune Tattoo Studio, Sofar Sounds, and The Four Seasons Beverly Hills. I perform my original music, a fusion of Soul and Jazz, and I also perform my own renditions of songs by popular soul musicians. However, you will notice that I try to make my renditions of songs unique and original!
I recently had the pleasure of featuring Simha at one of my SoFar Sounds shows in L.A. It was evident from the moment that he took the stage, we were all in for a treat. Simha’s music is a beautiful fusion of soul and jazz as he weaves together an intimate environment that feels sultry and punctuated with authenticity. This performance isn’t just a show; it’s a shared experience, a journey that he invites you to join alongside him.
If you ever have the opportunity to see Simha perform live, I recommend that you seize it. Trust me, you won’t regret it.
Simha was part of multiple events at Neptune tattoo as a performer and organizer.
They are great with communication throughout the whole process. He helped brought a team of artists together that fits the vibe of the events.
Their performance was absolutely mesmerizing, creating a fantastic atmosphere. The event ran smoothly, showcasing their exceptional organizational skills. A five-star experience that left a lasting impression!
Response from Simha:
Thank you for the kind words Esther! I had a wonderful experience working with you on this event! Hope to perform at Neptune again in the future :)
I hired Simha for an event at my house, where we offer food, drinks, music, DJs, and a monthly jam session. Simha graced the night with covers and original music, creating a transcendent and calming atmosphere. His communication regarding our needs was exceptional, ensuring a perfect evening. Simha's professionalism was remarkable, leaving a lasting impression on our friends and family who attended. They raved about his performance and are eager to hear him again. I would wholeheartedly recommend this artist for any event, show, or party—10/10!
Response from Simha:
Thank you for booking me for your event! I had an amazing time :)
I’m Dani, I am the talent buyer at the Goldfish in Highland Park. Simha not only performed but curated an incredible evening at our venue. Their professionalism and sweetness was already a win in my book and then they performed. Simha’s warming, beautiful vocals accompanied by full band with backing singers giving perfect harmonies was one of the best performances in our space in 2023, and probably ever. Moving, powerful and vulnerable, I highly recommend Simha for your events. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t shed a few tears (multiple times).
Response from Simha:
Thank you so much, Dani! It was a pleasure to work with you and I am so honored to have had the opportunity performed at The Goldfish! It was such a beautiful night and you did an incredible job curating such a comfortable and safe space <3

You can hire me as a duo, where it would be me + an accompanist (piano, guitar, or bass), OR you can hire me with a full band (lead vocals, bass, guitar, drums, piano). No matter what the setting is, I guarantee that my band and I will be able to adapt! If you don't have a back-line of gear (stereo system, live sound engineer, drum kit, etc) we can accommodate by bringing our gear.
I have a versatile repertoire from low key lounge vibes to upbeat high energy. You can expect a variety of covers and originals generally influenced by artists such as Stevie Wonder, Sade, H.E.R., and Bill Withers!
Overall, you can expect us to be able to arrive prepared and ready to play. My musicians and I are super chill and will be able to work with you! :)
Simha creates a worldly neo soul musical experience. Experiencing the intersection of different cultures in the SF Bay Area, Simha grew up with an ear for both western and eastern musical influences. Sonic waves from North Indian Classical music to Jazz, he introduces a new element of discovery for his listeners. Expressing his heart and energy with lush soul harmonies and ethereal textures, Simha hopes to help claim space for Queer Bipoc artists in the jazz-leaning side of the industry.
As Simha moves forward with the growth of his music career, he hopes to draw inspiration from a rapidly changing world. With an EP out on all platforms, Simha is now working on new music with collaborators.
I would just need to know what kind of setting the performance will be in.
I have a stereo system that works for a small quartet band, but if the venue seats more than ~100 people, then our sound system might not be the best for the setting.
If you have a system, then this is what we'll need from you as a full band:
mic for lead vocals
direct in OR mic for bass & guitar amp
mic(s) for drums
2-4 stage monitors
If you have a system, then this is what we'll need from you as a stripped down duo:
mic for lead vocals
direct in OR mic for bass/guitar/keys amp
1-2 stage monitors
P.S. A lot of the technical set up can be figured out when we chat about it ahead of time, but if you have any questions, I am always available!
