Programme

My Starry Eyes

brings the songs from the current album to the stage
The very different personal stories from the midst of life come across authentically in equally diverse musical guises: SIMONE HELLE & THE 6th SENSE create a wide range of soundscapes in their arrangements, taking the listener through many emotions.

Let Us Agree

– the intercultural concert for diversity and human rights
“LET US AGREE – the intercultural concert for diversity and human rights” is more than just a concert: it is a powerful musical statement for respectful coexistence. The five musicians from different cultural backgrounds present this moving programme with passion and virtuosity, creating a unique blend of “Orient meets Occident”.

My Baby Just Cares for Me

– a tribute to the era of Nina Simone
With joy and virtuosity, Simone Helle (vocals) and Martin Scholz (piano) dive into MY BABY JUST CARES FOR ME, exploring jazz and soul from the era of Nina Simone, Billy Preston and Jimmy Smith to contemporary jazz pieces. A reminiscence of a time of transformation on every level.

My new album My Starry Eyes

…was created during a very special time. During the lockdowns, I had the opportunity to immerse myself deeply in my music and bring ideas to life that had been maturing within me for a long time. A scholarship from the Ministry of Culture and Science of North Rhine-Westphalia enabled the first studio recordings – ranging from joyful to melancholic, always full of soul.

Thanks to a successful crowdfunding campaign, I was able to realise the production together with 12 outstanding musicians and fulfil my dream of a rich, expansive sound. My Starry Eyes combines modern mainstream jazz with influences from gospel, funk and world music – sometimes delicately arranged, sometimes opulent with a big band sound.

Now the album is here – available as an LP, CD and digitally in high resolution. I invite you to immerse yourself in my world of sound.

Music that connects – voices that touch the soul

I am Simone Helle – singer, sound artist and storyteller in melodies. My voice blends modern jazz with influences from soul, funk, world music and gospel. But for me, music is more than sound – it is expression, a bridge between cultures and a space for encounter.

My path to music has not always been straightforward. Low points, doubts and an unexpected wake-up call led me to where I am today – on stage, where I belong. I invite you to learn more about my journey.
