ABOUT SIMONSMALL
Based in London, Simon is an accomplished guitarist with many years of live, studio, and television experience.
Having first picked up the guitar after hearing Edward Van Halen's solo on Michael Jackson's 'Beat It' and wondering "How the hell do you do that with a guitar?!", he was gigging at fourteen, and began playing professionally at seventeen.
With a strong grounding in Rock, Blues, Pop, Funk and Soul, his passion for the instrument and music in general continues to this day.
Equally strong as both a lead and a backing vocalist, Simon is a real asset to any live or studio project, delivering creativity, professionalism and reliability in abundance.
From performing at intimate private dinners for the Beckhams, to live television appearances with Tom Jones, to sold-out arenas around the world, the journey continues.......
