PRESENTED BY TOM MILLETT

Simon's un-conventional song structures delicately prod at his ability to spectate life. His contrast of Upbeat, mellow and darker songs show a full variety of emotions. His Raw, intimate lyrics draw the listener into a fresh and original accoustic experience. With a distinctive and soulful voice Simon delivers melodic ballads and songs that are uniquely composed and yet universal in their message and emotional impact on the listener. His strengths and weaknesses are explored and divulged in rhythmic tandum with his curiosity. Simon was born and raised in the city of Dublin. Born into a music loving family. His parents influences ranging from Rory Gallagher, Donovan, Thin Lizzy and Crowded house. Music has always been a passion of Simon's. He first picked up the guitar in 1997 and after much trouble with the instrument gave it up after a while, only to regain his confidence in 2002 with a new outlook. He has spent many years growing and nuturing his music. To date he has written many songs. His musical influences range from Jeff buckley, Damien rice, Led Zeppelin and Tom McRae. To date Simon has played a handfull of songs live and hopes to build on this in the near future. His main ambition in life is to make a successful living as an artist, not just through music but also in acting, to which resides his first love. Simon has travelled the world acting and has credited his name to many respected companies. Simon is currently in the studio recording his debut EP.
