PRESS RELEASE: Simon Li from Universal Music is the next music industry judge to be added to the Live and Unsigned judging panel! Universal Music's Simon Li will be looking for the next big thing whilst judging for Live and Unsigned.
Simon is responsible for fielding all demos sent to Universal Music's UK website. He listens, files and responds to all submitted demos, using his experienced ears and impeccable judgment to pick the best demos to send on to Universal Music's A&R department.
Since writing his first song at the age of six, Simon's life has always focused around music. He was part of a semi-pro band at the age of 15, and has previously worked for Island, Sanctuary and W14, as well as having stints in Digital for Universal's Catalogue and TV divisions.
Universal Music judge Simon Li now continues to sing, play guitar and write his own music. He also produces and remixes, and runs his own dance label.
The Live and Unsigned music competition has music industry judges attend every stage from auditions to the National Final. We have judges from Radio 1, Kerrang, NME, BBC Introducing, regional press & record labels.
