Introduce yourself(tell about yourself & who you are)
My name is Simona, I’m 25 and currently living in Phoenix for the past 3 years. I’m originally from a small town, Decatur IL but I moved out in pursuit of higher education and bigger dreams. I have alot of passions, but I put most of my energy into music, art and modeling. I love to sing, and play guitar. As a song writter alot of my inspiration comes from 60s rock,R&B, Bossa Nova and Jazz. I have my own art business, LilArtBabi where I sell acrylic and watercolor pieces, as well as stickers and posters.
What Inspired you to do what you are doing?
I think it came naturally because it just feels right. I’m mostly inspired by my parents. My father is a gifted artist and my mother is musician.
What are some words of wisdom you live by everyday?
Be mindful of what you wish for
What are some goals in life you wanna complete?
A major goal in my life is to be able to record my music and perform regularly. I think it would be crazy, but possible to see my face on a campaign for a big brand. Ultimately I want to have more free time to spend with my friends and family and keep evolving in my art.
What are some struggles you faced to get to where you are now?
I had to overcome a lot of mental anguish growing up. Those who have met me in the past few years would probably never guess that I had to be hospitalized yearly for my mental and physical health while I was in high school. I still struggle with it time to time but I have a more profound understanding of myself and I’m extremely thankful that I had access to help. Another struggle that I’m sure everyone can relate to is just finding my place in the world. When I moved out to Phoenix I really had to adapt. I had no family or friends here. I moved without a job or a car. I really just had hope and alot of determination that I would make a way for myself and im so glad I took the risk. I’ve learned so much along my journey and I think struggling for a while was an important key to my growth. It made me realize that its a magical thing to be able to rely on yourself solely.
What is one way you’d like to make an impact in the world?
If I could change the world through my music I would. I sing alot about healing because its easy to get out of touch with yourself. If we could heal from within there would be a great shift in our consciousness and our behaviors.
Last question what else would you like to tell the world about you?
I think its important to stand for what you believe in. At the end of the day there could be 1000 people that disagree with you but as long as you know your truth, nothing else really matters
