Simien (Artist)
Simien picked up the guitar at age 14, leaving the trumpet behind after taking lessons for 7 years. From here on the guitar and Simien were inseparable. In the early years everything that was seen as a challenge on the guitar could be heard from his bedroom. Everything from Pat Metheney to John Petrucci tortured the neighbor’s ears late at night.

After serving a year in the army, at 19 years old his wishwas clear: I want to write music. He started his education at Nord- Trøndelag College, studying music and teaching. Trough teaching aspiring musicians the need to express something more than he could say by words brought him into songwriting. Although none of the 10 first songs he wrote ever escaped his bedroom, they inspired him to write more to become even better.

His first full concert was collaboration with VebjørnJohnsrud, a talented singer/songwriter from his college class. They broughttogether a band and started playing trough the autumn of 2012.

The spring of 2013 was spent in the studio at the school,and ended up with a single, which he sent to Propeller Music Division for mixing and Mastering. “Ain’t Nothing Wrong” was born out of watching close friends fight trough hardships, and giving them a reminder that they are not alone. The 2013 single is mixed by Hans Andreas Horntveth Jahnsen and mastered by Norwegian Grammy (Spellemannsprisen) award- winning mastering engineer Chris Sansom.

“Ain’t Nothing Wrong” will be released July 27 on iTunes and Spotify.
