KEATON SIMONS

Song of the Year's 2005 "2nd Place Winner"

 

Featured Songwriter

Keaton Simons was the 2nd place "Yearly Winner" in the 2005 competition with the song "Nobody Knows". Keaton was awarded $1,000 from Song of the Year as well as some other great prizes from our sponsors.  Keaton also participated in the 2005 Sundance Film Festival as a part of BMI's annual showcase. John Greenberg, the manager of Nickelback, immediately saw the talent in Keaton and took him on as a client earlier this year. During 2006 the buzz around Keaton has been out of control with two late night talk show appearances, one on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson and another on Last Call with Carson Daly, where he was asked to play a tune with Ben Harper. He was also brought in to work on the Gnarles Barkley project, singing back-up vocals for Cee-Lo and Danger Mouse during the Coachella Music Festival in Southern California.
