After extensive touring over the last decade, both in Australia and Overseas, eclectic pop singer Simon Astley is continuing his run of success working alongside award winning Australian Producer Sam Panetta (Kylie Minogue, Crowded House, Kisschasy), and New York USA Producer Ray Balconis.

Jumping back and forth between Australia and the UK since 2011, Simon Astley’s music has been influenced by the vastly different landscapes and experiences offered by these destinations in the UK. With a father from Birmingham and a Record Deal with UK Record Label Gotham Records, Astley naturally feels a tether between the UK and his home in Tasmania.

Crafting most of his songs from his surroundings and travel experiences, Simon Astley’s music also reflects his personal life and emotions, resulting in powerful catchy tunes.

Astley is collaborating on a song with Irish/Australian Singer Songwriter Damien Leith for the second time, after the success of their previous single “Love for the City” in 2020. They have penned a new track called “Crossroads”, which will be released later in the year.

Simon has recently been chosen as the Radio Announcer for the new Australian Radio Show called 'AUS10 Radio’, which is the affiliate of US10 Radio' & broadcast on radio stations throughout the United Kingdom.
