Knocking On An Open Door

Songwriter, contemplative, quest guide, and psychotherapist Simon Spire sounds the murmuring depths of the soul through songs that traverse the ground between layered alt-pop and singer-songwriter introspection. A three-time award-winner in the USA Songwriting Competition, Spire has been featured on MTV, NBC, AOL, Voice of America, and radio stations throughout the U.S., while also featuring in the New Zealand Top 40 radio airplay charts. Having left his beloved New Zealand homeland for the alluring horizons of Los Angeles, followed by the seismic creative vortex that is New York City, he now finds himself living atop a wooded and humble ancient mountain in North Carolina where he writes, guides, communes with owls, dodges snakes, and misses the ocean.
