About Me


PRESS

***PALO ALTO DAILY NEWS***
Captivating Southern California-based singer-songwriter Simone DeBlasio played San Francisco last week. If you missed seeing her, you can still experience the pleasure of her music via her MySpace page. "Baby Angel" and "True" are among the moving numbers from last year's "Grounding the Fall" album. "One Night" represents a promising preview of her next release. Paul Freeman / Entertainment Writer
ABOUT ME...
When I was a little girl my mom gave me an accordion and a book of songs. I immediately learned "Down in the Valley" and performed for my 1st grade class. Seeing a natural spark light up, my mom decided to buy a piano and a bunch of grueling lessons. That was all it took for me to fall madly in love with making music.
After moving out west to Los Angeles from Maryland via San Francisco, a friend taught me a few chords on the guitar and an entirely new musical world opened up. Folk-pop Americana music seemed to come naturally to me because I love putting my life stories to music. Being able to share my songs with others has been a true gift. I've been performing throughout LA and cities along the West Coast for years and will continue to do so until I'm a little old lady.
To purchase my music:
Overall, I live to write and write to live. And I adore my Boston Terriers, Sadie and Quincy.

Behind the Scenes: San Francisco

Driving up to San Francisco via Route 1 was spectacular. Fog billowed along the mountain range and ocean was as black as oil. Very sinister. We made our way into the city pulling off the 101N, and aft...

Music is Love

I'm at work, listening to the Friday banter of employees prepping for the weekend. Nobody wants to be here. Most people have one foot, if not both, out the door. I showed up early even after performin...
