Born in Montreal in 1978, Simon Daron currently resides in the quaint village of Virginal, near Brussels. A seasoned guitarist, luthier, and multidisciplinary artist, he dedicates himself to the study of Django Reinhardt's music and, more broadly, the Jazz repertoire from the early 20th century. His proficiency in graphic design and his enthusiasm for pedagogy naturally led him to devote a portion of his research efforts to these areas.
