"Composer / singer / pianist Luiz Paulo Simas was born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in 1948. He performed and recorded with some of the greatest Brazilian artists, and many of his original compositions were recorded in Brazil and abroad. He also recorded soundtracks for tv and film productions.
He studied classical piano until his teenage years, and was a founding member of the groups Agora-4 (bossa-nova) and Modulo 1000 (Psychedelic Rock) in the late 60’s, and Vimana (progressive rock) in the 70’s.
Simas was the first musician in Rio to use a synthesizer. He composed and recorded sound effects for tv and radio, including the famous “Plim-Plim” trademark signal for tv Globo, Brazil’s largest tv network.
Simas moved to New York in 1989, where he became known as Luiz Simas.
He has led original groups in festivals and clubs in the US, in Europe and in Brazil. Luiz's voice and music have warmed major venues including Birdland Jazz club, the Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall, the Metropolitan Room and the Iridium in New York, the Gamle Logen Hall in Oslo, the Pheasantry in London, the Phillarmonia Hall in Odessa and Sala Cecilia Meirelles in Rio. He performed at several universities and colleges, such as Rutgers University in New Jersey, Roger Williams University in Rhode Island, and the City University of New York. He’s performed in several Jazz Festivals, such as the Hartford Jazz Festival, the Oslo Jazz Festival (in Norway), the Odessa Jazz Festival and the Vinnitsia Jazz Festival (in the Ukraine), Sala Jazz (in Rio) and the Rocky Mountain Ragtime Festival (Colorado).
He was the musical director in the 90’s of the Brazilian superstar Elza Soares when she performed at the Village Gate.
Beside his work as a musician, Luiz also acted while in Brazil in Oswaldo Montenegro’s musical “Dança dos Signos”. Later in the US, Simas acted in the role of “Mozart” in the English version of Pushkin’s “Little Tragedies” (translated and adapted by Julian Lowenfeld) when it was performed at the Baryshnikov Arts Center in New York.
Many of his songs were recorded by other artists such as singer Ritchie Court, singer Ana Caram, mandolinist Marilynn Mair, singer Kenia, the Triangulo ensemble and harmonica player Hendrik Meurkens.
Simas has been touring Europe every year since 2015 (...)"
