BIO
Simon is a classically trained pianist who loved composition while studying music in Oxford – this led on naturally to him also writing pop songs and, more recently, writing music for licensing in the TV, film and advertising industries.
At present, he is focussing his attention on writing music for licensing.
He has enjoyed working with Grammy winning producer Philip Larsen, Richard Niles, as well as for projects with the UK band Atomic Kitten singer Liz McClarnon and with prominent UK music industry figure Mark Goodier.
He has also developed new artistic talent here in the UK as well as obtaining more global pitches with major labels.
Outside music, Simon has varied interests - aside from being a big Agatha Christie fan, he enjoys living in the beautiful Chiltern Hills, near London, and loves both interior and exterior architecture, travel, history, local history and natural history; he also enjoys the more spiritual side of things including yoga.
