About Simon Jela
Euphoria with a built-in setback. Pop music for those who’d rather stumble than stand still.
Simon Jela isn’t an artist who simply makes music. He pours his emotional world into three-minute pop songs, leaving his listeners holding the most beautiful, sharp-edged fragments. He calls it Deep Pop: like a hidden Spotify genre you secretly fall in love with.
Somewhere between hometown melancholy, bedroom RnB, and the pulse of Berlin’s nightlife, Simon Jela creates small anthems for those who lose themselves in thoughts after dark. His songs sound like euphoria with a hangover, like hope with a built-in guarantee of relapse. A voice that feels like an open diary, suspended between falsetto and despair, yet always danceable.

Doing what feels right, not what’s trendy, defines his art.
