Born in 1980s Java into a culture of ecstatic dances and mystical chants, soon to grow into a grunge-wailing teenage alien in German suburbia, and finally get completely lost in jazz bars and mosh pits of the Netherlands at the dawn of the internet age, Tomi's artist persona was destined to become a vaudevillesque embodiment of transcultural psychedelia.
Three decades later, Tomi has worked with numerous artists, including his own role models, in a wide variety of styles and disciplines such as rock, pop, jazz, blues, funk, afrobeat, psychedelic, experimental, spoken word and gamelan. Tomi's music has been used in cinema and he has collaborated in dozens of productions - albums and singles - as a session musician, producer and co-writer. Simatupang has also won the first prize in an international competition for microtonal composers. After about ten wild years in Berlin and gigging adventures on three continents, Tomi Simatupang is now mainly working in his V7 music studio, Vienna, Austria.
