Artist Information

Biography

Musician, multi-instrumentalist, traveler, adventurer. It is difficult to provide a single label for the work of Simon Walls. Simon has successfully managed to blend his unique brand of pop music with his passion for traveling and philanthropy.

After releasing his first album "Don't Ask Your Eyes What The End Looks Like" to critical acclaim in 2007 , Simon decided to promote his album in an incredibly unique and challenging way. He traveled to Spain with the goal of crossing the country from east to west using only his feet to navigate the 1,050 km between the French border and the Pacific Ocean. Along the way Simon filmed the music video for his single "Things I Will Give Up".

It was in 2010 that Simon felt ready for another challenge.

For the release of his second album, Simon decided that he would walk across the 2nd largest country in the world. He began his 9000 km trek across Canada from Victoria, Bc to St. John’s, NF on foot with his guitar on his back. He has recently completed the first stage of his adventure and has stopped in Toronto to finish the recording of the album and will be heading out for the 2nd leg in June 2011.
