Welcome

Simon Alami is a Moroccan-Canadian composer who was born in Fez, Morocco in 1966. From a young age, he discovered and nurtured a passion for singing, playing different instruments, and composing. Despite being mainly self-taught, Simon continues to develop his art and craft under the guidance of exceptional mentors such as concert composer and Grammy award nominee Robert Paterson and composer Antonio Gervasoni. He draws inspiration from the works of master composers such as Ravel, Debussy, Bartok, Takemitsu, Stravinsky, and many more.

Simon's compositional style is heavily influenced by these composers and others, blending elements of different musical styles and traditions to create a unique and eclectic sound in his music. He often incorporates unconventional harmonies and dissonant chords, while also drawing inspiration from the impressionistic and minimalist techniques. Additionally, he often incorporates elements of nature and folk music into his compositions, and employs complex and challenging rhythmic structures. Overall, Simon's compositional style is characterized by a fusion of diverse elements and a willingness to experiment with new and unconventional forms of expression.

Despite his demanding job as a Manager at Hydro-Quebec, Simon dedicates his time to pursue his art and passion for classical music composition. He is a husband and grandfather, and currently living in Montreal, Canada. He believes that his passion for music is a continuous journey and is committed to sharing it with the world. Simon is also a proud member of the Guilde des musiciens et des musiciennes du Québec (GMMQ), Canadian League of Composers (CLC), and Society of Composers and Authors and Music Publishers of Canada (SOCAN).
