Some artists make music for the charts. Berlin based artist Mani Simon (formerly imvnyel) makes music for the overthinkers, the dreamers, the people who are still trying to make sense of it all. His songs aren’t just melodies—they’re moments of reflection, escape, and raw honesty in a world that often feels too loud and too fast. For a long time, he was searching—for his sound, for his place, for the version of himself that felt the most true. That search lives in his older songs, each one a different piece of the puzzle, a reflection of an artist figuring it out in real-time. But now, the pieces have come together. This new era isn’t about chasing or experimenting to see what fits. It’s about standing firm in the music that moves people. Tired of the algorithm-driven noise, he’s on a mission to bring back music that actually means something. The kind that lingers, that makes you stop and listen, that reminds you why music ever mattered in the first place. Whether it’s a stripped-down live performance or a song that feels like it was written just for you, his world is a space where music is more than just background noise—it’s a lifeline. So if you’re looking for something real, welcome. You’ve just found the soundtrack to your thoughts.
