I have always loved music,from the age of 4, playing percussion, drums and singing out of key to STEVIE WONDER & THE WAILERS.Then i hit the age of 7 and got into OMAR.I started playing instruments when i went to W.A.C [weekend arts college], aged about 8 where i learnt how to play kit drums,percussion and a bit of piano and bass guitar.This was when i knew music was gonna be my life.Then i finished school which was not for me and then i done a music production course with Raw Material and got a NVQ level 5 certificate,then, i got a place at Brit School which was a bit too CRAZY for me, so i ended up at City & Islington College to study B-Tec in Popular Music, where i learn't about everything from the music biz to touring Londons schools with my college band A MINOR 9, which was a great experience for me. We also did a few gigs at Camdens W.K.D. Thats when i got into singing a lot more. Good old days,for me anyway. Now i'm producing and writing my own album and also producing tracks for other artists struggling in the game. I love working with all different musicians,singers, producers and REAL rappers no"bling bling" rubbish.I also have a production company in the pipeline with hip hop dj/producer LUI FINGAZ which is called JOINT ENTERPRISE production. I've worked with my sister, nusoul/jazz singer/songwritter supreme VANNESSA SIMON, uk nusoul star OMAR and his brother SCRATCH PROFFESSOR.At the moment im working with up and coming jazz/hiphop star FAE SIMON.By the way"WATCH OUT 4 MY ALBUM WHICH WILL BE OUT EARLY 2008"......bless.

We start our new bi monthly residency over at Space in Leeds this Saturday with Realtone Records' Franck Roger.
