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.
