One Saturday afternoon instead of going to learn clarinet Simon Baum sat under a tree and wrote his first song. He was 12 and he hasn’t stopped writing since. Simon is an Essex based singer songwriter who has performed at venues all over the world and appeared on the same bill as artists such as Ed Sheeran, Will Young and SOHN. He has had recent success with his song ‘Bridges’ reaching the semi final of UK Songwriting Competition this year. Simon has released six EPs Easily, Words, Rise, Love, Somebody and Better and is currently working on his seventh.
