(Full disclosure. Simonne is a friend)

We all love reading about inspiring people with immeasurable passions for creating. I am especially moved when those passions are rooted in a vision of humanity’s advancement. Simonne Jones is a person who embodies these features and someone who I am inspired by every day.

Her tenets of invention are analogous to how startup companies realize their own success.

- Her creations fill a gaping hole in an industry - She has an undying love and desire to create - She works inspired and tireless daily in her pursuit of getting others to realize their own potential - Technology is her vehicle

Just like startups in their industries, she is creating something novel in the music world. She pairs pop beats (she produces her own music) with complex scientific and philosophical metaphors (she has a formal education in the sciences) that is otherwise devoid in modern pop music. Her music and voice are wonderful to listen to first and foremost, but is also scientifically educational and emotionally connected in lyrical content.

Simonne released her first EP "Gravity" last week on major label Vertigo/Capitol (A division of Universal Music) (Spotify Link here: https://open.spotify.com/album/2mSTYu3wB3Qhg45pKIYAuY).

Do you find it encouraging for music that a major label is interested in promoting an artist that is also a scientist?
