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.

I hope I didn't wake you
But what I got to say can't wait
I know you'd understand
Every time I tried to tell you
The words just came out wrong
So I'll have to say I love you in a song
Yeah, I know it's kind of strange
Every time I'm near you
I just run out of things to say
I know you'd understand
Every time I tried to tell you
The words just came out wrong
So I'll have to say I love you in a song
Every time the time was right
All the words just came out wrong
So I'll have to say I love you in a song
Yeah, I know it's kind of late
I hope I didn't wake you
But there's something that I just got to say
I know you'd understand
Every time I tried to tell you
The words just came out wrong
So I"ll have to say I love you in a song

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.

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.
