Simon Hood is an emerging singer/songwriter from Atlanta, Ga.
Born Richard Copeland in Greenville, NC. Simon Hood s name change s in honor of his father and great grand father.
As a song writer and Hip-Hop producer for many years Simon Hood started his own production company Ringo D. Productions right out of high school. While that start up company ended few years later he learned a great deal about production, and song writing. He would say the best teacher in music is experience, sometimes you got to get in the deep water to swim.
After Ringo Productions he worked several years at the Underground Studio in Atlanta Ga. were he built a following of underground and independent Rappers and producers. He has worked with artist, and producers like Damian Hall of the multi-platinum R&B group "Guy", Lil Jamal of "Illegal", and countless tracks for D.A.R.P. Dallas Austin Recording Projects as a freelance producer just to name a few.
Ready to get back to his origins musically, Simon made the decision 5 years ago to transition to R&B and merge his knowledge of Hip-Hop production with excellent song writing. Reaching out to one of his closest friends and band mates, producer Glen Paige of New Haven, CT. The pen began to flow. Along with a large number of tracks and songs Simon already wrote Glen has added so much more because now Simon doesn't have to do everything. That leaves more time to dedicate to other areas of his career.
The release of "Love Gone Wild" a song written to draw attention to the difference between love and obsession. Was written in 2006, this songs Simon actually written, produced, and performed by Simon Hood.
All of Simon Hood's early works will be available for easy down load soon. Also keep your ears and eyes tuned to internet and traditional radio as works will also be available soon for other artist as well from the Glen Paige and Simon Hood collection.
