FOLLOWING HIS BLISS: NJ SINGER INSPIRES OTHERS
Area performer who left day job to pursue his life-long passion of singing, is now successfully wooing audiences across the state while inspiring others to also follow their dream.
Woodbridge, NJ-January 27, 2016--Mike Simone, who bills himself as: “The Singer with the Swagger” is causing quite a buzz throughout the NY/NJ area. The life-long NJ resident, raised in Avenel, is an exciting singer who delivers a powerful and emotionally charged performance with a polished vocal style reminiscent of that other legendary, former NJ resident, Frank Sinatra. But just as importantly, he wants to inspire others to follow their bliss while he follows his.
Mike Simone, AKA Michael Nocks demonstrates his unique vocal dynamics at public and private events all throughout the state to rave reviews and repeat performances and is now finding himself quite in demand. He has been featured on ABC Eyewitness News and has performed at last year’s Frank Sinatra Centennial celebration in Hoboken. He has released a holiday song “Have a Swinging Christmas!” which he wrote and performed on, has an impressive catalog of videos on YouTube and is a featured soloist fronting the Palisades Park Big-Band Summer Concert series, all while keeping a pretty busy schedule performing regularly across the state. In addition he plans on starting a new Webcast series this year.
No newcomer to performing, Mike has been singing and playing guitar professionally since he was a teenager, playing in various bands including the original band, The Weevils, who had college radio hits with “Space Girl” and “What’s Your Girlfriend’s Name?”.
Mike has also written a song, “Panacea Bay, which was performed by Juke Gibbons and released in 2014 on iTunes. He has also written or co-written other tunes throughout the years.
But the real story behind his success is the fact that Mike was not afraid to take the risk at this stage in his life to fully pursue his real dream. “Following your passion is a very scary thought to most people. They naturally want the safety and security of a regular job, and taking risks is a very scary notion”. But Mike has found out the hard way (the school he taught at closed in 2013) that the seemingly secure day job isn’t quite as secure as you think. It can end at any time-especially in this highly unpredictable and volatile economy. “Life is a risk. You might as well do the thing that you really love because we only go through this world once.” He also believes that when a person becomes successful, they should also pass on what they have learned to others, encouraging, inspiring and giving them hope that they can too can achieve their dream. “I feel as I am pursuing my dream, I should also inspire and encourage others to do the same”. His philosophy? “I want to be a role model for those folks who have put their dreams on hold to raise a family or attend to other obligations and now feel it’s time to start doing something for themselves. It’s never too late to follow your bliss!”
