TuneDn: Elec Simon’s playlist boasts a song for every occasion
Percussionist and “motivational entertainer” Elec Simon has the gift of seeing music in everything.
“Somebody opening the door, somebody dangling their keys, just walking – I am always hearing the music,” he explained to Detour backstage at the International Arts Festival in New Orleans, whose fellow performers included Simon’s former collaborators Pieces of a Dream.
Maybe this is why Simon does not limit his playlist to one genre or artist and chooses everything according to the type of mood he’s in. He draws inspiration from a variety of artists, including everything from Billie Ocean to Earth, Wind & Fire.
Hit play on the video to see why September by Earth, Wind & Fire holds special significance for Elec Simon as well as hear his thoughts on the Bahian Carnival in Salvador, Brazil, which is the ultimate bucket list event.
