Sebu Simonian is an L.A.-based recording artist and music producer whose career is defined by a refusal to stay in one lane. The classically trained music major turned down an opera scholarship to pursue rock music.
A formative chapter as a prolific jingle writer sharpened his ability to jump between genres—a versatility that eventually birthed the indie-pop powerhouse Capital Cities. Their multi-platinum, Grammy-nominated anthem “Safe and Sound” remains a global cultural staple, continuing to find new life across generations.
Today, Sebu bridges his deep heritage with modern production. His recent work centers on the legacy of Armenian icon Komitas, reimagining the master’s folk classics for a new audience. His latest release, “I Came Down from the Mountain,” serves as a stunning bilingual bridge between his classical roots and contemporary vision.
