A Biography
Trinidad - Hereford cathedral - London clubland - Toronto

His songs and productions have sold over 10 million albums and singles worldwide.

He was originally signed as an artist with his sister Joanna Law to Chrysalis Records in 1988 in the UK as City Heat….
He was an influential UK house music pioneer as The Funky Ginger with ‘Slaughterhouse’ (on NYC’s influential Easy Street records) and did one of the first groundbreaking dance music session at the BBC for the legendary DJ John Peel.

All this, and being a regular clubber and dancer at the Africa Centre in London for Soul II Soul’s legendary Sunday night sessions led to the lifelong friendship and collaboration with  Jazzie B OBE and the creation of  Soul II Soul’s  long career.
He has been involved in all of their 7 album releases. In particular co-writing the Global #1 and Grammy winning Back to Life and also Keep On Movin’ from the 5 million selling Club Classics Vol 1.
This worldwide multi-platinum album, including the Grammy Award winning instrumental African Dance were all co written by Simon.

 In 1990 he produced his sister Joanna Law’s seminal cover and uber sampled #1 UK dance tune The First Time Ever I saw Your Face on Beggars Banquet.

He traveled to Jamaica to write with Shabba Ranks on Slow and Sexy , a US top 10 tune and worked again with legends Sly and Robbie on Maxi Priest’s albums Bona Fide and Man with The Fun, writing and producing. In the mid 90s, he visited South Africa, where he produced Africa’s own reggae superstar Lucky Dube’s Victims album.

Back in the UK he co wrote and produced many great acts like Polydor Record’s Nu colours, Atlantic’s D’influence and London records Brand New Heavies

He has also written themes for the BBC, notably the Travel show.
