As a performer, he has played with leading musicians and covering a wide span of musical activities, ranging from rock concerts, jazz sessions to musicals amongst others.

As he is a fluent reader and a very versatile musician with an eclectic taste, he is quite busy and has for quite some time now played with various bands and orchestras all over Malta as well as abroad. He has appeared on various TV shows in Malta.

Besides his work as a performer, Simon is equally at home in the roles of composer, arranger, producer and music teacher. He teaches electric bass and double bass to students, from beginners to more advanced levels.

Simon’s main instrument is the Yamaha TRB JPII. Simon says that "the JPII has a very musical voice in all registers, especially in the high register, which makes it unique for soloing. The JPII’s intonation is very good and a very present, muscular sound". [http://europe.yamaha.com/en/artists/guitars_basses/cee_simon_sammut/]
