Sima Verzino has often been referred to as a “figlia d’arte.” “An old Italian expression, figlia d’arte roughly translates to ‘daughter of art’ in English and is used to describe children who inherit a talent for the arts from their parents,” Verzino says. Growing up in New York, Verzino was immersed in music at a young age thanks to her father, who was not only a classically trained vocalist and saxophonist, but had his own orchestra, which played all of the top clubs, music halls and social events in New York and Washington, D.C. for decades.
