This is not a normal bio
but a beautiful story about a talented voice struck down in its
prime.
June Simon's singing
talent was evident, and her parents had enrolled her in formal vocal
lessons. As a young adult, she was booked to leave for Europe to start
her career, when a tragic female disorder debilitated her. She had to
cancel all plans. For years the doctors did not believe her that she was
in excruciating pain. After numerous medications and many surgeries, her
singing voice was gone.
Now June, not being one
to lie down and give up, attained an instrument pilot's license. She
and her husband had numerous businesses across the USA and
Canada to which they now could fly . Although still being ravaged by endometriosis,
she continued to fly, in all weather, across the country, even having
the scare of losing one of her engines.
June could speak, but her singing voice was gone.
For many years she didn't dare even hum a song because of the painful
reminder that her singing was over. A few years ago in a recording
studio, a friend wanted June to help him interpret a song. He asked her
to sing it. She told him that her singing voice was gone. He
responded: "there would be nobody else listening, so please come and try".
Reluctantly, she went in. When she opened her mouth, the sound that came
out was beautiful, warm, but different. A dream once
thought lost, now returned!
In the last 5 years she has
recorded 9 Albums/ CD's written by award winning composer, and author,
Emile Simon (started composing at 75 yrs of age). June now has 9 Music
Shows that have been airing on TV. Her genre includes Ballads, Soft Jazz
, dance and soft A/C. Her music is full of Hope, Love/ Romance, and Fun.
She always progresses and is actually introducing a new Pop sound to her
latest music due out very soon. Her TV Show "The Bridge of Time" that is
also available in DVD, won Best Music Show of the Year, and the cover
song "The Bridge of Time' has been nominated for the UK Songwriters
Award.
This talented, versatile,
prolific, tower of strength truly has a gift and a story that she wants
to share with the world.
