Music has always played an important part role in Simon’s life and he showed an early interest in the guitar which lead to classical guitar lessons at the age of 9. He studied the instrument for 10 years enabling him to win a school music competition during one year, while at the same time giving a number of public performances. Simon also taught himself to play the keyboard studying works by Debussy, Chopin and Rachmaninov. It was not long before he bought his first synthesizer (a Korg Poly 800) and started to experiment and work on his own material. In the late 1980s Simon worked for a local production company gaining experience with recording and engineering within a wide range of music and spoken word material. The work ranged from voice overs and soundtracks for promotional videos to demos for bands, songwriters, and solo performing artists. Simon also worked on developing his own instrumental material when his studio was not being used by others. During the 1990s he played keyboards and then later, bass guitar with a folk band and acted as producer for their first studio album before moving on to new pastures. More recently Simon has become deeply interested in spirituality, particularly eastern philosophies. In an increasingly stressful world, this has lead him to discover and entertain the power music has to calm, relax, heal, and compliment alternative therapies.
