About simon a.
In the artist’s words:
Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail.
I used to make birthday raps for my friend. One day we were at an Anderson .Paak concert and I was telling him some stuff I was working on. He looked at me and said "You know, I think you should start taking this music thing seriously." That was it.
What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular?
Bon Iver, 22, A Million
Kendrick Lamar, To Pimp a Butterfly
Solange, A Seat at the Table
These albums each opened my eyes a little wider to what music could be and how far it could be stretched. My favey faves.
Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song.
“TAXIDERMY”
This is the oldest song from 'the show'. I wrote and made it about 3 years ago, in the midst of quite a dark period in my life, a period rife with uncertainty. I chose this metaphor to externalise my impostor syndrome, and it's so beautiful to me :)
What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far?
I performed at Tramlines Festival in Sheffield in 2022. Biggest amount of people I'd ever performed for. They enjoyed themselves!
Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band?
I'm tryna headline festivals! No but for real, I just hope to have a lot of people take in what I'm putting in these songs. and hopefully take from them into their own lives, the same way I've done with the artists that i love. That's the aim.
