Simon grew up in France, constantly surrounded by music and art. He paid a particular interest towards the drums from a very early age and got his first kit at only 2 years old! At 6 years old, Simon was already gigging regularly and rehearsing every night after school in his dad’s band. He soon started playing in the school’s orchestra and other jazz, rock and cover bands where he developed his skill to be able to play in various styles.

After a few years of constant practice and dedication to the instrument Simon’s abilities were noticed by his drum teacher at the time, Gerard Munoz, who advised him to get lessons from drummer and inventor Jean Francois Miguel. When Simon was 14, Jean Francois gave him the amazing opportunity to open for his drum festival (Festival TAM-TAM in Montluçon, France), with esteemed drummers such as Thomas Lang, Walfredo Reyes Jr. and Dirk Brandt featuring on the bill. This exposure led to interest from Mapex Drums and soon, Simon became their youngest European endorsee in 2005. He then started performing in many drum clinics and drum festivals all over France and Germany, sharing the bill with international drummers such as Gregg Bissonette, Cindy Blackman, Carmine Appice and more.

Simon is now one of the go to guys on the session circuit and is currently touring with pop singer Rachel Platten, and is also about to embark on another world tour with legendary duo Pet Shop Boys.
