Simone Simons

Appearance is deceptive, so perfect in disguise, there is more than what you see...

About Me

My passion is mainly singing. Besides that I love to go out and enjoy nature, meeting friends and family, cook, wash my clothes and clean my house..... (that can be fun if you put some music on and sing from the top of your lungs). So far I have been travelling around the world with Epica. Our new cd 'The Divine Conspiracy' will be released in September and straight after we will head to the US to play the new songs live! To check out the dates go to www.epica.nlEasiest way to find out more about me is to write me an email or subcribe to my blog :)See you all on my myspace and on the road of course!Love,Simone

My Interests

First of all Epica has my main interest. Besides that my family and friends are very dear to me! Movies is my other addiction, I have quite a big DVD collection. I still have some DVD's that I didn't watch so far. I love to travel; Egypt, Germany, Hungary, Norway, Mexico and Brasil are surely one of my favorite countries.

I'd like to meet:

I met already quite some inspiring people. All are welcome in my world.Tim Burton, Danny Elfman, Salma Hayek. I would have loved to meet Mozart but I was born a little too late ;)Who I don't want to meet: people that jugde a book by its cover and do not even try to see the real essence of things. Superficial, conceited people.

Music:

Aerosmith, Amy Winehouse, Anathema, Apocalyptica, Chen Reiss, Christina Aguilera, Devin Townsend, Ebony Ark, Dimmu Borgir, Elisa, Emma Shapplin, Faith no More, Fiona Apple, Guns N' Roses, Heather Nova, Imogen Heap, Kamelot, Katie Melua, Lacrimosa, Live, Maria Mena, Mostly Autumn, Muse, Nightwish, Ofra Haza, Opeth, Radiohead, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, REM, Samael, Sting, System of a Down, Tiamat, Tori Amos, Soundtracks Danny Elfman, soundtrack of the Perfume,Hans Zimmer

Movies:

Do you have enough time to read all this? Ok, I will save you this boring info, I will give just 'a few# of my favourites. The Fool of the world and the Flying ship, Brothers Grimm, Malena, Meet the Feebles, The L word, The Last Unicorn, Elisabeth, Saw I and II, Spiderman Trilogy, Frida, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Once upon a times in the West, Ice Age, Finding Nemo, Event Horizon, The Snowman, The Time Machine (old version), The Perfume, 13 Ghosts, Hellraiser, Kill Bill, Willow, Wishmaster, All Tim Burton and Jim Henson's movies and I am a sucker for the classical Disney movies..... ;)

Television:

I mainly use my TV to watch DVD's. When I do watch TV I switch to channels where I can find South Park and Desperate Houswives, they are great! I also like to watch cooking programms, Animal Planet and Discovery Channel.

Books:

I love to read books about fairytales, Grimm, Anderson. To be honest I don't have time to read and I prefer to watch movies. I am always starting to read a book and then forget about it so I have to start again and again. I think I am reading 6 books now, all are half way :)Some writers that I like: Rascha Peper, Kluun, Helleen van Royen, Arnon Grunberg, Jan Wolkers.

Heroes:

My Grandfather, Ofra Haza, all people that inspired me. Of course my fans, your support means a lot to me!
