simon a. is a multi-talented artist from Walthamstow, East London. He's got RnB, Hip Hop, Indie, Soul, and House music in his repertoire, creating a sound that's both familiar and refreshingly different.

simon has been making waves across the UK, from performing at All Points East Festival, Sheffield's Tramlines Festival, AMEX Unsigned Showcase at The Dome to selling out his own album launch at Next Door Records 2, as well performing smaller gigs for Sofar Sounds, Notting Hill Arts Club, 91 Living Room and Colours Hoxton. He's scored collaborations with NME and GUAP, and a blossoming partnership with Pirate Studios. His EP even premiered through COLORS X STUDIOS, and he's been featured in top publications like Notion, and Wordplay.

On the radio, his music has been played on BBC Introducing, Reprezent Radio, and Spotlight by Unsigned Guide. simon was long-listed for the 2024 and 2025 Glastonbury Emerging Talent Competition and is also a recipient of the Youth Music NextGen Fund, as well as being one of their ‘Ones to Watch’ 2025.

In 2025, simon released his project I CAN’T SELL THIS, a bold, conceptual rap mixtape that questions art, value, self-worth, and accessibility, which was coupled with a full visual film and a video for each song. It was deliberately released off streaming. His latest release of 2026, single Poorly, featuring NIKEE MUZE, is a groovy, soul-infused track telling the story of a breakup viewed from each partner’s perspective. Honest, smooth, and bouncy!

This musical maestro is all about sharing the art and using it to move and change the world.
