Erin Gannon Simms

UK born singer-songwriter Erin Gannon Simms’ road of determination has yielded a successful recording career that has seen a host of publishing deals, scores of radio play on stations across the world, co-writes with well-known hit writers. Born in Newport, South Wales, UK, Erin cites her Belfast-born father, who once played bass in a band alongside Van Morrison, as having a profound influence on her foray into music. As well, Erin's mother has always been her biggest fan.The burgeoning sensation started writing at age 11. While most girls her age were playing with dolls, the ambitious Erin was singing songs she’d written into a tape recorder. She joined her first band at age 14 and spent the next 10 years playing in and around South Wales. Her favorite band was one she formed with her sister, Cathy. They named themselves "Novena".Her husband, Paul, is a source of inspiration and a pillar of support. While helping to raise their young family of three children, Erin took a break from live performances. Her dedication to the craft, however, was unfailing as she continued writing and recording, making use of a keyboard and recording equipment given to her by her brother, Tony. While the ebullient Erin is known for her wacky, engaging sense of humor (which she thanks her Irish blood for), she is a sincere and responsible artist with a passion for helping others. An email friendship formed with Ottawa, Canada -based songwriter T.J. Way through a mutual respect of one another’s music. The pair collaborated, writing and co-producing the heart-felt EP, “Angels All Around Us”. A portion of the proceeds for the four-song album are donated to support children’s battle with leukemia.Residing in Wales working towards completion of Erin’s debut album, the future looks bright for another ‘overnight success’ in the making.
