Mr. Simon
Simon Ryghseter (born 24 July 1995) also known as Mr. Simon, is a Norwegian musician and producer, based in Tanzania.

He produces Bongo Flava, Afrobeats and Afropop music, for his own label RH Music. He is most known for his song «Yes I Do» featuring Jimmy Jay and 25Ren, where he produced the track and sings. He featured in Harmonize’s music video for the song Mpaka Kesho as one of the main characters.

He started producing in 2017, but has been playing instruments all life. He grew up in a Pentecost church and got his first drum set at six years old.

On January 9, 2020 he released his first single «Hold On» which later was taken down on most platforms, as he changed his style of music.

Simon first came to Tanzania as a volunteer in Arusha, and quickly fell in love with the music, way of life and nature. Since then he has started several charities in Tanzania and traveled back and forth between Norway and Tanzania.

On July 1, 2020 he told his dream is to help make Bongo Flava become a world wide genre, appreciated as much outside of Africa as in Africa, in an interview with Radio 5 in Tanzania. And because of Simon’s mixed influence of European- and African music, his productions are unique and something to be heard more of in the future.
