Bio

Simon Hood is a Singer/Song Writter from as he like to say all over. Based in Atlanta his newly adopted home for over 10 years he also claims New Haven CT., Greenville NC., Greenville SC., and even Baltimore MD. as his home as well. His love for music started in Greenville SC. Where as a child he use to sit in on his uncle's band practice sessions not only did he get lesson one in song development but learn the value of music being an inclusive and ever changing being with a life or soul of it's own. As a youth Greenville NC was home. A place where he learn the benifit of hard work helping his grandfather on his farm. It shock him to find out the his grandfather at one point was actually more than just a tobaco farmer, and good friend. He was actually darn good country western singer by the name of Cecil Sutton. Simon likes to say, My grand daddy was alot things, and he could sho-nuff sang and play the harmonica.." New Haven CT was the place he called home as a teenager. He took a job soon as he got to town and took his first paycheck to buy studio time where he began developing his writting skill. At the time he said he wasn't ready to start singing right away becuase he wanted to sharpen his writting so at first he only wrote Rapp songs. It was a great influence on him sence he love Hip-Hop and really got into the whole culture as it was at it's dawn. Atlanta turned out to be a vacation that could not last long enough sense his arival he's worked as a producer for Maully G of Illegal, Damien Hall of GUY Dallas Austin Eric Sermons of Def Squad, and Trauma Black to name a few. As life would have it Simon left his beloved Atlanta for a brief moment and spent some time in Charm City where he discoverd his voice. He said he was just passing through when his car broke down and he had to hang tight for a week while it was getting repaired. He was offerd a job and thats how a week turned into 2 wonderfully grand years of growing into an artist. So much love to B-More sense some of what you are about to hear was created there.
