His Family is descended from the Huguenots (a 16th Century group of French protestants).

As Simon matured he devoted his time to drama and singing and at 5 he had taken acting lessons, appearing in an advertisement for Persil washing powder, Coke and a French coffee manufacturer as well as posing for knitwear patterns in a womens magazine.

Simon appeared in several amateur stage productions such as The King and I when he was 7, Bless the bride with the Harrow light opera company, Little Lord Fauntleroy (where he got his first taste of the frilly shirts!) and A man for all seasons. Simon's first professional stage appearance was at the Cambridge Theatre, London where he appeared alongside Roy Dotrice in Tom Brown's Schooldays playing the part of one of Tom's friends at Rugby school.

Simon was a soprano but his mother feared for his voice and that if he pushed it as it broke he could have no voice left, so Simon gave up singing with the church choir from which he had been awarded several trophies in various festivals, he was terribly disappointed mother Ann who has operatic training, continued to coach Simon with his singing and along with valuable lessons from drama and his stage work, Simon had the groundings for a strong voice for the future.

Simon's first performed with a punk band called Dog Days when he was 17, at one gig they were fourth on the bill and were not allowed to play on the stage, they had to play on the floor! Simon also sang with Bolleaux , Eddie and the Hotrods and Rov Ostrov.

Before heading for University Simon spent some time working on a kibbutz in Israel.

It was while Simon was studying Drama at Birmingham University, that Fiona Kemp (a girlfriend working as a barmaid at The Rum Runner) gave Simon's phone number to John Taylor whose band "Duran Duran" were looking for a singer.
