As a little boy, who showed interest in music, Simon attended training at the music school in his home town Brežice. At the age of seven he has started playing the accordion and later ..ed to take classic guitar lessons. After six years of playing the accordion and classic guitar he passed his final exam and his elementary music school has ended. However it was necessary for Simon to get some primary piano lessons as well in order to get accepted into the college of his choice. He is still improving his piano and classic guitar playing skills today. By the end of his elementary school he had come in handy like a hired gun as a bass guitar player in a local teen rock band called Whisper, which later on evolved into a real melodic power metal band. Simon became a full member of Whisper and had later changed his position to playing electric guitar, which was his real passion. In 2005 Whisper recorded their first demo tape, »Garden Of Dreams« and performed live on various shows and stages across Slovenia. However the band had taken a break which seemed to long for Simon to bear. He parted his ways with Whisper in late 2007 due to their different visions and interests. In 2006 Simon also founded a side project band called »Wishy Washy« with his friend Jaka Ogorevc (drums). Wishy Washy plays cover songs of known rock hits. However Wishy Washy is not working on a regular basis – they are performing live if the band members feel to do so :) Simon is also a member of »tr00 Siberian black metal« parody called Chernozyom which only gathers around the time of heavy snowdrift :) Around the New Year’s Eve of 2008 Simon decided to record a solo track. He recorded his first instrumental track called »Tina Drives« in Safe&Sound studio and is currently searching for appropriate musicians to cooperate and play with.
