Biography

Simon moved from Brazil to Los Angeles in 1985 and shortly after formed the band Agent X, with guitarist Billy D'Vette (Pair-A-Dice), they recorded "Rock n Roll Angels" with Kim Fowley (Kiss & Runaways). Following Agent X's disbandment, Simon was offered to join Rough Cutt and then merged Rough Cutt members, Dave Alford, Amir Derakh and Matt Thorr to form Jailhouse with Michael Raphael. In the mid-'90s, Simon formed a band called Flood that signed to Interscope Records, produced by Bob Marlette and Terry Date. In 2013, the band Jailhouse did a reunion show on the Monsters of Rock Cruise and later that year he was asked to join Autograph because Steve Plunkett was not being interested in doing the reunion tour.
