here's a bit about the two true pros working in the studio with us.

simon illa:

in 2001, simon marched to the front door of Philadelphia International Records day after day in pursuit of work. eventually, after giving the label's owner, Kenny Gamble, a CD of his to listen to, he was given a job. Gamble, says about Simon: "Not only is Simon talented, but he's very humble and incredibly hardworking. He's just an amazing man in every way." he was soon to be labeled by blender, a national music magazine, as "philadelphia's hottest producer."

later, Warner Brothers in New York signed him to a publishing administration contract. it obviously didn't take simon long to make connections in the industry. he met and began working with few big-name philly natives like Nox and Scott Storch. he worked with Storch at "Miami's Hit Factory," a studio entering their fifth decade with 400+ gold and platinum recordings. this studio's clients include: Backstreet Boys, Beyoncé, Ludacris, Missy Elliot, & U2. 

Bill Pettaway, the manager of Timbaland (who produces Jay-Z, Justin Timberlake, Nelly Furtado, Ludacris, etc) says: "Before I met Simon, I heard he was handicapped, but when I met him, I just didn't see him as handicapped. He has so much drive and determination. He just never gives up." Simon soon signed a contract with Timbaland's production company.

Simon Illa has established himself as a versatile, gifted music producer, having had success in all genres of music. He travels the country, working with an array of artists and record companies, despite his diminutive size and his being wheelchair-bound. Everything about Simon challenges society`s stereotypes regarding disability.
