1981 yılı Avusturya doğumlu caz vokalisti.
Müzik hayatına çok küçük yaşta başlamış olup, 12 yaşına geldiğinde babasının müzik grubunda şarkı söyleme başlamış ve 16 yaşında Graz Üniversitesi'nde müzik ve sahne sanatları bölümünde eğitimine başlamış.

Kopmajer, who grew up in Bad Aussee, learned piano at the age of eight; At the age of twelve she switched to saxophone. She came to jazz through her father, in whose band she was already playing as a teenager. At the age of 17 Sheila Jordan animated her. She studied at the University of Music and Performing Arts Graz at Mark Murphy and quickly made a name for herself as a jazz singer.

In 2003, she received the New York Scholarship of the Hans Koller Award and went straight to the USA, where she recorded her first record at the age of 21; The album Moonlight Serenade, produced by Todd Barkan, became a success in Japan. She recorded six more albums for the Japanese Venus label, including George Mraz, Houston Person, and Aaron Heick. The album Nothing's Gonna Change, released in 2011, also made her appear in Thailand, where she was the main attraction at the Chiang Mai Jazz Festival. She toured in North America, Southeast Asia, Australia and Europe. Their album The Best in You (2014) is recognized as a "professionally designed, classic jazz vocal production" in the jazz podium, as they give the twelve songs on each "a distinctive vocal expression"
