Simon_D's profile

Been singing for over 10 years now, mainly covers band work, wedding singing and musical theatre (I even once went to the Edinburgh Festival!). I'm a good front man with a confident open approach and I enjoy getting the audience involved in the show. I can also play some very basic acoustic rhythm guitar and rudimentary drums.

I'm looking to get involved with something new. I'm just starting out working on my own as a solo act, although I have done plenty of duo singing work and busking in the past decade. I'll be performing the usual fare of popular covers and standards from the last century to the present day. I usually sing off the backing tracks but I'm keen to try learning a bit more guitar so I can add an extra string to my bow.

I would be keen to hear from anyone that's into this sort of thing that might be interested in putting our talents together, ideally people local to the Croydon area. I'd consider working in any sort of context, from a simple duo to a fully blown orchestra for the proper big band stuff! I'm also open to working on creating new music as well or working as a session singer for anyone that needs one.
