Alina Simone
Artist Description
Born in Kharkov, Ukraine, Alina Simone came to the US as the daughter of
political refugees after my father refused recruitment by the KGB and
was blacklisted for ‘refusal to cooperate.’ I grew up in the suburbs of
Massachusetts and have also lived in Texas, North Carolina, New York
City and Siberia. My songs are about places where nothing and
everything seems to happen — pawn shops, access roads, malls, gas
stations — and all the gorgeous, impossible, possibilities that other
people can bring into your life. Yes, I know it’s kind of raw and messy.
