SimbaSōl: I am so excited that this EP is dropping. The whole experience has me oozing with creative juices and I have been locked in the studio ever since.ĮG: Congratulations on the release of your latest EP, ‘Saṃsāra’! What has the initial reception been like?

After the usual local festival circuit, I took a massive 16,000 km cross-continent road trip on my yearly pilgrimage to Burning Man.

I feel deeply connected to my work right now and I feel the difference coming out in my sound. To be honest I feel like a new person compared to the man I was entering the portal of the warm months. SimbaSōl: My summer was deeply emotional and filled with growth. I am glad to be part of a new generation that will keep putting Montréal on the map.ĮG: So, what has your summer been like? Any particular highlights? The depth and thirst for fresh music here will never cease to amaze me. This is my home and I am happy to be part of a long-standing lineage of producers from here. Authenticity and “Joie de Vivre” on every street corner. The city has all the cultural inspiration and refined energy I could ever hope for. Let’s get into it! I was born and raised in Montreal, Canada. It’s a pleasure to have you here with us. These songs are a gateway into the paths SimbaSōl walks on, letting go & trusting the flow of his own destiny.ĮG caught up with SimbaSōl to learn more about the release of ‘Saṃsāra’, his views on rebirth, his workflow, the current state of the scene, and more.ĮG: Hi SimbaSōl! Welcome to EG. In literal terms, the Sanskrit word saṃsāra means “flowing on” or “passing through.” SimbaSōl’s current focus is on the micro level of deaths and rebirths that happen within me every hour of every day. In Buddhism, Saṃsāra is often defined as the endless cycle of birth, death, and rebirth. Now, SimbaSōl is behind the drop of ‘Saṃsāra’, an emotional ballad conceived to land whatever journey the listener is on & set the table for what is to come. That is also the message he is conveying in his music – to trigger emotions, to release emotions, to connect, and to celebrate life. SimbaSōl has dedicated his life to music ever since and he’s sharing his passion for life, not only through playing and performing, but also through inspiring others to feel free and enjoy each moment. Eventually, he found his calling under the disco ball, making the jump to the world of modern music production and attending the Cosmic Academy to chase his artistic dreams. He grew up around the campfire with Djembes and Harmonicas, and he was exposed to a music-induced lifestyle that later became his passion. Raised by dancing hippies, SimbaSōl himself was dancing the moment he learned to walk.
