Harmonie: Symphonie
Simone “Symphonie” Owens is a vocalist, spoken word and visual artist from Syracuse, New York. Her stage name was given as her peers observed her ability to connect her love of music with everyday situations. In her early years as a poet, she was a member of the Syracuse poetry group: The Underground Poets.
Symphonie has since gone on to perform on stages such as The National Poetry Slam (NPS), tour across the country performing, and publish her debut collection of poetry, Semi-Colon.
Symphonie also is a visual artist who pours all of her art mediums into expressing her innermost thoughts and captivate audiences while also creating safe spaces of freedom and love.
