About Alexandrina
Alexandrina Simeon is a Bulgarian-born jazz vocalist, composer, educator, and bandleader based in Germany.

In 2025, together with the ALEXANDRINA SIMEON QUINTETT & BENNY BROWN she released her third album, „Quiet Girl“ (Laika Records), a deeply personal interpretation of selected jazz standards.
