Simon has been a composer making records, films, television (including the seminal Eurotrash) and advertising for three decades. He has also been a concert pianist and long-standing board member of the world-renowned Merce Cunningham Dance Company. He has become particularly well known for left-field, unusual scores and his work in such a wide range of musical genres has made him one of the most sought-after composers in the industry.

 

Simon studied music at Worcester College, Oxford where he was a Choral Scholar.
 

He has won four Cannes Lions and Best Soundtrack at the Monte Carlo film awards, amongst many others. He has worked with a number of influential artists such as: Madonna, David Guetta and Sigur Ros. In 2018 he started his own orchestra: The Cinematic Orchestra of Russia.
