She will be releasing an original album in the upcoming year recorded mostly with renowned musicians from the Puebla and Mexico City area.

She has a strong understanding of Western classical theory as well as a versatile knowledge of pop, rock, opera, classical, jazz, and Middle Eastern music and its theory.

Simona has spent a great amount of time pursuing spirituality and has a thorough understanding of each Abrahamic religion with an emphasis on Judaism and Christianity— and after having a health scare in 2019 amongst other challenges as a multidisciplinary musician— she has come to understand deeply how important it is for artists to keep a healthy mindset and truly connect with themselves on a deeper level to continue their craft with ease.

She continues to play and teach music in the Nazareth and Haifa area to this day.
