With a passion for audio, Simon completed work experience in-house at Artisan Music, leading to him joining the team in 2017, opening and operating the Rhodium Room Studio. Volunteering and working as the studio assistant to Patrick Carré since 2014, Simon has loved building his clientele and experience as an engineer, vocal producer and musician. Live-streaming, podcast production and video editing have become crucial elements to Simon’s experience and make him an even more unique member of the Artisan team. 

Simon has recently returned from England, where he spent time working and learning at Abbey Road Studios, Eastcote Studios and Metropolis Studios.

Extensive time spent in the studio and live settings, Simon is an excellent engineer with fresh ideas and techniques and has experience engineering a variety of music genres, including; classical, opera, jazz, pop, folk, rock and metal. 

Simon has produced award winning songs with artists Castle Hughes and Sofia Gale. Vocal production is quickly becoming Simon’s niche, after co-producing vocals for R&B-Pop artist Jacob de Gaye and rising Hip-Hop/Rap artist PerryP, as well as recording, mixing and mastering an operatic album for international tenor, Alasdair Kent. Simon’s instrumental skills include classical, jazz and contemporary piano, classical and jazz trumpet, bass and a growing passion for guitar, making his instrumentation knowledge an excellent asset during the writing and production phase of your music. 

Simon is carving a name for himself in the Western Australian music scene, as well as nationally. Most notably, Simon engineered for Australian country icon Adam Brand, both in a recording, and mix-preparation capacity. Adam described Simon as the “Whizz Kid” in a social media post during his time working at Artisan Music.

After graduating Year 12, Simon started his own company, providing live audio services for videographers, churches and schools. Most recently, Simon was privileged to be the Front of House engineer for Darryl Braithwaite at Perth Convention and Exhibition Centre, as well as Front of House for events at Crown Perth featuring Eskimo Joe.

Microphone placement and choice, room manipulation and mic and preamp pairings are Simon’s favourite things to experiment with, earning him some fantastic results to date. Simon is committed to providing world-class audio engineering, striving to create unique and new sounds.
