Simone - BAM R&B Festival at Metrotech June 18, 2009

Daughter of legendary siren Nina, Simone, who took her mother’s last name as her first in tribute, has undoubtedly inherited her mother’s passion for song. Simone has starred in Broadway’s Rent, Aida, and The Lion King, and has earned a Grammy nomination fronting acid jazz group Liquid Soul. Now an undisputed star, Simone has taken on her mother’s mantle with her newest album Simone on Simone, breathing new life into Nina’s greatest hits, performing never-recorded arrangements, and truly honoring her mother’s legacy, all while nurturing her own extraordinary musicianship and talent.
