   About Simon Johnson

I first picked up a guitar at the age of 11 on Christmas day after months of nagging my dear old mum. Luckily best mate Craig had been doing his bit and got his drums at the same time….we were off! We played in bands together all through our teens until at 20 we signed to RAK Publishing with the mighty producer Mickie Most. Mickie had worked with so many great people (Jeff Beck, Rod Stewart, The Animals) and always treated me with the same hard, no messing attitude he was famous for. It was great, I spent 4 years under his guidance writing & recording at RAK studios, I learnt everything from him and miss him very much. After a move to London I found myself working with great musicians and artists including Thea Gilmore, Jamelia, Anna Krantz, Tina Arena, Jon Allen..
