ABOUT SIMON CANTLON

I have worked for over 25 years in the entertainment industry initially working in radio, publicity,

record label marketing, and band management before transitioning into digital media bringing me

into the world of television, music artists, and live music.

​

I have worked on many TV shows including American Idol, Weeds, So You Think You Can Dance,

Queer As Folk, Californication, and so on. I have also worked with Elvis Presley Enterprises,

David Beckham, Adam Lambert, Daughtry, The Spice Girls, Carrie Underwood, and more.

I was nominated for an Emmy for my work on the television show Dexter.

 

After leaving the corporate entertainment world I went solo and started Vive Le Rock Productions,

producing festivals, benefits and events as well as marketing, graphic design and digital media.

​

Festivals we produce include Rockabilly On The Route (2013 to 2017) which is returning in 2026  and now the Rockabillaque festival  which is now in its 12th year and is in two states (South Carolina and Florida).

The festival draws over 18k in attendees annually.

I also produce an annual LGBTQ Pride Event called Park Circle Pride, now in it's 5th year and

draws over 8k in attendance. All my festivals are benefits and raise money for charities.  I also produce various block party events, vendor markets, concerts and more.
