Behind the (not so) mysterious alter ego Simon I, hides Simon Proulx, lead singer and guitarist of Québec punk rock band Les Trois Accords.

Simon I, pronounced Simon "Premier" (Simon the First), is a respectable fellow from a North American town called Drummondville who decided to launch a side project. So he started writing songs in the tongue of Shakespeare, Dylan, and McDonald. Tongues have always been a passion for him. And Simon I knows music. Rain or shine, his head is always full of new melodies. Simon I left his land to go to New Amsterdam, where he got down to work with two producers, Gus van Go and Werner F. Simon I likes true craftsmanship. He tries to play every instrument or just about. After spending a few weeks in exile to record last winter, Simon I and his acolytes revealed a ten-track self-titled album in 2015 that sounds like a ton of bricks. Each song has its own melodic depth, its own character. You’ll find Simon I to be a great melody-maker. And where did he find this wonderful style? The secret lies in Drummondville.
