Bio
Simonoto is an Oakland-based multi-instrumentalist, producer, and music educator whose work sits at the intersection of funk, soul, and hip-hop. A fluent player on guitar, bass, keys, drums, and vocals, he approaches production holistically, every part of the groove considered from the inside out.
Touring guitarist for Snap Judgment's "Spooked," guitarist on Ewik_42's debut album, three years under Joe Bagale (Otis McDonald) at Hyde Street Studios, and Jazzschool faculty at the California Jazz Conservatory.
His EP Skullybones arrived May 12, 2026 on Subvert and Bandcamp.
“Skullybones is not the beginning. It’s the first time I’m letting people hear where I’ve already been.”
