Simon Scardanelli has been singing, writing and recording since the age of 16. He has worked extensively in Europe and the USA , and has at various times been based in London, Amsterdam, Munich, New York and Los Angeles. Having been signed to both major and independent labels, Simon has an uncompromising attitude to his work and now releases independently through Resonator Records. As one reviewer wrote of the his 2007 album - You never know what is lurking around That Dangerous Sparkle's dark corner, but whatever it is will always shock and surprise. Scardanelli is always prepared to take a risk, and we should all hope that it is this experimentation that is the future of British singer-songwriters.
A charismatic and engaging performer, Simon's live shows are peppered with wry anecdotes and dry, self-deprecating humour he is able to look back on a long and varied career with an ironic appreciation of its highs and lows. But it is the quality of songwriting and singing that will ring in your ears after a Scardanelli gig as Sound on Sound wrote Simon's greatest asset is a fantastic singing voicehis performance on tracks such as They Dance bear comparison to the likes of Scott Walker.
