Starting his career in the late 80's at the famous Matrix Strudios in London's West End, Simon Morgan has spent more than 20 years in the music industry as an engineer, producer, programmer and writer.
After having worked with artists such as Massive Attack, Neneh Cherry and
Bomb the Bass at Matrix, he was employed by Gee St. records in their in
house studio, and became the resident engineer at Bar Rumba, working for

His production and mix work in the mid and late 90's includes a UK top 40
