Hi, I'm Simon Willson.
Born in the UK, I'm a long time Hong Kong resident and fluent Cantonese speaker. I have been a vegetarian since 1994.
First job out of school was in the news room at Commercial Radio Hong Kong (then 1040 now 864AM) editing (open-reel) ums and aahs out of interviews and news reading.My first Pro (paid) gig as a DJ was in Club 97 Lan Kwai Fong in spring of 1983.I was the first foreign DJ to take up a residency in China - Nicoles' Disco - Shanghai 1985. While in Shanghai I was lucky enough to meet HM Queen Elizabeth II who was on her own China Tour!
I've played clubs and parties around Asia and China for decades!
1989 saw my first Radio Gig - "Night Music" on RTHK Radio 3 , Hong Kong's premier English Language Radio Service, where I currently host the following shows.
Current Radio Shows RTHK Radio 3 - The Rhythm (All Mixed All Vinyl - Hong Kong's Only) RTHK Radio 3 - Simon's Sunday After-Noon Session RTHK Radio 3 - Teen Time Artist Profiles & CD Reviews RTHK Radio 3 - Cool Trax (Hip Hop, R n B & Soul)
07-09-07 - Back To school I go .... Some say it's never too late, I'll subscribe to that !!!
I am currently studying Film & TV Production full time at the Hong Kong Film Academy in addition to my shows at Radio Television Hong Kong so I only get about 6½ hours off each week!
I'll post my first movie to YouTube when it's done ... bear in mind, this is Hong Kong film making, things happen fast!
If You have an album/single please send release and press pack to the company address below (Attn Simon Willson). Music for inclusion in The Rhythm (dance music) should be on vinyl. Many Thanks. Many thanks to Hong Kong Graffiti Artist "Three" for the animated DJ graphic!
