Simon Daum

Simon Daum: Growing up in a family full of musicians, it was no big surprise that, as soon as I could walk, my first run was to the piano. It must have been around age 11 that I first came across the American pianist and composer Jon Schmidt, today best known from the The Piano Guys. His music had a tremendous influence upon me, and so my desire to become a full time musician was shaped quite early. When I started recording, my first songs were all piano solos. Over time I also disvocered my interest in orchestrating, and so, today you will find a great variety of music amongst my compositions. Up to this day I have released 6 albums ( 8 if you also include my first attempts ). Besides these 6 albums there are all together almost 100 songs that I have been allowed to publish during the last 12 years. My latest album, "Solitude", is my first complete piano solo album, and consists of new songs, aswell as of a collection of songs from my other albums. To me, there is no greater joy in life than to make a difference for the good. Music is such a wonderful tool to make such positive differences in this world. I hope that you, as you browse this site, listen to my music and watch my YouTube videos, can feel some of the joys that I was allowed to experience while writing these song.
