Kopmajer grew up in a family of musicians and began singing in her father's band when she was 12. At the same time she studied piano, though singing remained her first love. Early on, she entered and won various talent contests and even made appearances on television in her native country, Austria. As a young performer, she twice toured the Netherlands with the “Euro Big Band” and later appeared in several international jazz festivals.
Influenced by some of the great American vocalists like Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, and Jon Hendricks, Kopmajer has developed into a true jazz singer who uses a wide variety of rhythms and excels in her very individual style of scatting.
Kopmajer received her Masters Degree from the University for Music and Dramatic Arts in Graz, Austria where she had the opportunity to work with such jazz luminaries as Mark Murphy, Sheila Jordan, Michele Hendricks, Jay Clayton, and the New York Voices.

A Time for Love
Simone Kopmajer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For hummingbirds and butterflies
For tender words that harmonize with love
A time for climbing hills
For leaning out of windowsills
Admiring daffodils above
A time for rainbow coloured weather
A time of make believe that we′ve been dreaming of
As time goes drifting by
The willow bends and so do I
But all my friends whatever skies above
I know a time for spring
A time for fall
But best of all
A time for love
A time for holding hands together
A time for rainbow coloured weather
A time of make believe that we've been dreaming of
As time goes drifting by
The willow bends and so do I
But all my friends whatever skies above
I know a time for spring
A time for fall
But best of all
A time for love

Spotlights - Simone Kopmajer - Lyrics
It’s alright, sit for a while.
It’s alright, give me a smile.
It can’t be all that bad,
Though the sun don’t shine.
Tell me, how did it all start?
Tell me, how he broke your heart!
It can’t be all that bad,
Though you’re sittin’ in the dark.
Well, Mama said, he’d do me wrong.
Papa said, “Let him be”.
But you know I'm so headstrong
And now there’s nothing that can comfort me.
It’s alright, it won’t be long.
Time will bring a happier song.
Let the sun refuse to shine -
Just turn the spotlights on.
Musical Interlude
It’s alright, sit for a while.
It’s alright, give me a smile.
It can’t be all that bad,
Though the sun don’t shine.
Tell me, how did it all start?
Tell me, how he broke your heart!
It can’t be all that bad,
Though you’re sittin’ in the dark.
Well, Mama said, he’d do me wrong.
Papa said, “Let him be”.
But you know I'm so headstrong
And now there’s nothing that can comfort me.
It’s alright, it won’t be long.
Time will bring a happier song.
Let the sun refuse to shine -
Just turn the spotlights on.
