Meet Your Instructor
My name is Simon and I've had music in my head for as long as I can remember.
I started writing terrible music in my teens using a built-in mic on my brother's cassette player. Since then I've played in bands, studied music at university, and discovered the rabbit hole of learning to record and mix my own music.
I spent years scouring YouTube for the best tutorials, buying gear, buying courses. I was fixated on mixing, because I believed that was the one thing my music was lacking. Only to discover that even after I developed my mixing skills my music was still missing something.
And don’t get me wrong, mixing and mastering is important. Your artwork is important. Your marketing and release strategy is important. Your social media strategy is important.
But none of that matters if you don’t start with a killer song. Your music has to be amazing to stand out.
5 years ago I had a major breakthrough when everything just started to click. I produced a song for artist Sandie M. She sent me a vocal and piano demo and I was able to turn it into an orchestral pop hit that, 4 years after release, continues to get radio play.
Now, I do have some advantages when it comes to songwriting. I started early, getting my first guitar at 13 and discovering early on that I was more interested in writing songs than practicing technique. I also went on to get an undergrad and a masters degree in classical guitar where I learned high level music theory, voice leading, harmony, phrasing, and more.
My producing skills I started developing while playing in bands. I wanted to keep listeners engaged without any fluff or filler. So we began refining our songs to make them as engaging as possible. Even our live performances became carefully choreographed from start to finish.
But what really sets me apart is my ability to synthesize my songwriting and producing method into a step by step blueprint that anyone can follow. And the 8 years I spent teaching guitar help me greatly here.
I’ve been using my songwriting and producing system to confidently create music that resonates, and I’m excited to finally share it in my course 14 Days To A Killer Song.
