July 2011Sizzling Summer Issue

Whilst her fans sat at home in di-spair, and her artists wallowed in self-pity, the youngest songwriter ever to win both a grammy and a brit music award in the same year was strolling along the beaches of Phuket, watching waves crashing upon the sand. “Before my life was so hectic. It’s impossible for someone so young to be expected of so much. If there wasn’t a time when I wasn’t working, I was thinking about it, and if I wasn’t thinking about it, I was planning a meeting or planning a lunch, a dinner, anything! I guess you could say I was always working, and now that I’m thinking about it, it’s about time I hired an assistant!”

Iwas fortunate enough to have simply run into SiMone in a hotel lobby whilst I was attending a journalism confrence. If anyone didn’t know who Giulia Simone was, they would just see a confident young woman tak-ing a lesuirly holiday in Thailand, whilst back in L.A her fans and artists have been tearing their hair out wondering where she was and when she was going to come back.

“I announced it one Sunday during a buisness lunch. It was with him (Mi-cah - SiMone’s Agent). I remeber he

“How did you feel, suddenly get-ting up and leaving your life behind like that?” I asked. I wasn’t sure how to approach the question, as it was one we had all been won-dering.

“A lot of people who I have met here ask me - ‘Why now?’ and then I tell them, If you did what I do, you’d know! the amount of stress I was under was increadible. Who-ever said working in the music buis-ness would be easy clearly, had never worked in the music buisness!I just needed some time for myself - away from the city and all of the lights, some place where I could gather my thoughts. Wow, just how many times did I use the word ‘I’? Makes me seem pretty selfish I know.”

“Not at all” I replied. I had to give her credit. For such a young artist she was working increadibly hard with artists all over the world and in different languages, and doing it all on her own. I guess all we can hope for now is that she gets the time she needs to get herself together so she can produce even more ass-kicking songs and albums for us :)
