As early as 6 years old, Simon fell in love with drums, much to his neighbors' displeasure. At 14, he traded acoustic instruments for synthesizers and began producing techno and house music. Hailing from Frankfurt, Germany, the cradle of techno and home to iconic clubs such as Dorian Gray, U-60311, and Omen, Simon's style continued to develop. In his early 20s, he relocated to Berlin, a city known for its electronic music scene, before moving to New York and then Los Angeles. Simon currently lives in Boston.
