Early life

Simpson was born to Brad and Angie Simpson. He has two younger siblings, Tom and Alli.[2] He is also a talented swimmer, winning two gold medals at the Queensland Swimming Championships.[3] Simpson trained at the Miami Swimming Club under coach Ken Nixon.[4] Simpson's mother Angie works as a volunteer at the club.[5]
Simpson began to record songs in his bedroom during the summer of 2009 on YouTube, performing "I'm Yours" by Jason Mraz,[6] "Cry Me a River"[7] and "Señorita"[8] by Justin Timberlake, "I Want You Back" by the Jackson 5,[9] and his own songs, "One"[10] and "Perfect."[11] He was subsequently discovered on YouTube by Shawn Campbell,[12] a Grammy-nominated record producer who has produced for Jay-Z and other artists.

Music career

Simpson's rise to recognition was featured on The 7.30 Report in December 2009.[13] He released his debut single, "iYiYi" (which features American rapper Flo Rida) on 15 May 2010. It was digitally released on 30 May 2010.[14] The music video for "iYiYi" was released on 30 June 2010.[15] The music video for Simpson's second single, "Summertime", was released on 20 September 2010.[16]
Simpson moved to Los Angeles in June 2010 to record his songs with Atlantic Records and his producer Shawn Campbell.[17] That same month, Simpson appeared on Sunrise.[18] On 22 June 2010, it was announced that Simpson would participate in the Camplified 2010 Tour, along with other artists, touring across the United States. The tour began on 5 July 2010 and ended on 14 August 2010. It was also Simpson's first public tour.[19] While on tour, Simpson performed a song called "Love So Strong." In an interview with Popstar Magazine, Simpson stated that his inspiration for the song was "A girl, back home. That's all I can say."[20]
On 4 December 2010, it was announced on Simpson's official website that an EP entitled 4 U would be released through iTunes on 21 December 2010. The EP includes 5 tracks in total, 4 of them being previously un-released. [21]
Simpson is currently in the studio working on tracks for his upcoming full length debut on Atlantic Records.
