Combining soul-stirring originals, exquisite harmonies and funky world grooves, Simon performs on guitar, vocals and loop pedal, building layers of sound into a marvellous fabric that moves your body and your soul.

His new single “This Race” will be launched in June 2024 ahead of his 5th Germany tour.

His latest album Aguas Profundas was launched globally (Jun 2023) on label Songs & Whispers (Germany), distributed by Broken Silence (Germany) and published by Sentric Music (UK). The first single Looking For A Map with film clip deals with feeling lost during the coronavirus pandemic, and looking for a map to navigate the way out.
