Simona Grossi was born in a family of musicians, artists, and scientists, in a small village on the sea, in the South of Italy.
As a kid, she loved spending time playing her piano, dancing to the notes of Ravel’s Bolero while locked in her room, or reading and writing her journals. She loved traveling, but a major accident when she was 13 forced her to put many of her travel plans and dreams on hold until she was able to travel again five years later.
Her first destination then was the U.S. She fell in love with it, moved to California when she was 28, and has lived there since then, together with Aaron, the love of her life, and together with their two cats, George and Holly. Aaron, her biggest fan and supporter, is also her best friend, manager, and Jiminy Cricket.
