After learning but a few chords, Cody wrote his first song. He continued practicing and soon began posting YouTube videos of himself performing his original songs alongside stellar covers by such favorite artists as Justin Timberlake, Jason Mraz, and The Jacksons. Simpson’s YouTube Channel quickly created a worldwide commotion, receiving millions upon millions of views following its August 2008 debut.
In April 2010, Simpson released his irresistible debut single, “iYiYi (Feat. Flo Rida),” and immediately began winning over U.S. fans with a series of live performances, including 2010’s Camplified tour of over 30 different summer camps across the country. Cody’s debut EP, entitled “4 U,” arrived in December 2010, highlighted by both “iYiYi” and the rhythmic pop of “All Day,” which rose to #1 on Radio Disney’s “Top 30 Countdown.”
In summer 2011, Simpson made a stunning chart debut as his “COAST TO COAST” EP entered the SoundScan/Billboard 200 at #12. “The EP highlighted by the hit single, “On My Mind,” which proved a top 40 favorite at Pop radio outlets nationwide, having also hit #1 at Radio Disney (his second chart-topper at the network). The “On My Mind” companion video – directed by Travis Kopach (Panic! At The Disco, 3OH!3, Boys Like Girls) – is also a certified YouTube blockbuster with over 14 million views and counting at Cody’s official YouTube channel.
A truly charming and charismatic live performer, Simpson has toured nearly non-stop, including his sold out “Welcome to Paradise” headline tour, co-headline tours with Big Time Rush and shows alongside Justin Bieber, Carly Rae Jepsen and appearances at such events as the 2011 & 2012 White House Easter Egg Roll, the Arthur Ashe Kids Day festivities at the 2011 U.S. Open. Cody’s own “Coast To Coast Tour” of U.S. malls drew huge crowds everywhere it went in 2011, with more than 3,000 fans turning out at each of its 10 stops to see the rising teen star in action.
Cody has also made a remarkable array of high profile TV appearances, including NBC’s The Today Show, ABC’s Live! with Kelly, ABC’s Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, Nickelodeon’s Bucket & Skinner’s Epic Adventures, The Disney Channel’s So Random, CBS Saturday Early Show, and the nationally syndicated Ellen DeGeneres Show, not to mention as a performer and mentor on Radio Disney and the Disney Channel’s “N.B.T. (Next Big Thing)” talent contest. In addition, Simpson was among the top stars featured at Nickelodeon’s 2012 Kids Choice Awards where he presented and took home the award for “Favorite Aussie Star,” and at Australian Nickelodeon’s 2011 Kids Choice Awards, where he won awards in a trio of categories, including “Awesome Aussie,” “Aussie Muso,” and the prestigious “Super Fresh.” Cody was also profiled in a range of national publications, while also receiving extensive TV coverage including E! News and Access Hollywood.
As if all that weren’t enough, Simpson also starred in the 2012 original film, Finding Cody. Presented by Warner Music Group’s original YouTube Channel, “The Warner Sound,” Finding Cody made history as the first interactive YouTube movie featuring a major musical artist. While he enjoys such extracurricular creative activities, Simpson is firmly focused on one aspect of his art above all.
“My music is way above everything else right now except maybe school,” he says. “I’m really focused on being the best artist and performer I can right now. Definitely, in the future, I’m interested in acting and fashion, but right now I’m taking it one step at a time. I don’t want to rush things.”
The delightfully idiosyncratic “PARADISE” confirms Cody Simpson as a major recording artist and a unique new voice in modern pop music. With a full-scale AEG promoted North American tour in support of “PARADISE” scheduled to get underway in February 2013 and a November European tour nearly already nearly sold out, things are about to get even more intense for Cody Simpson.
“There’s so much going on right now,” he says, “it’s just a crazy whirlwind. I’m super-excited and I’m definitely ready for it.”

“你的第一张专辑，真的很成功，它是你事业上的一座里程碑，向世界展现了你的才能。”
拥有超过340万的推特关注者、330万的facebook关注者，更不用说150万的YouTube点击量了，显然，这个世界想从Cody Simpson的身上发掘更多。现在，在经过了长久的等待之后，随着第一张无删节专辑“Paradise”的正式发行，这个来自澳大利亚昆士兰的歌手兼作者已经准备好要飞得更高了。伴随一系列令人耳目一新的融合了现代高科技和不插电吉他原音的歌曲，例如“Wish U Were Here”和“Got Me Good”，Cody Simpson不仅展现了世界范围内音乐多元化的现象，同时，他更是一个坚持自身的与众不同的艺术家。
“做流行音乐很难，这也是我为什么花费了很多时间的原因”，Simpson说。“当人们听我的音乐时，他们将会听到真正属于我的声音，他们会说‘这是Cody Simpson。他的音乐听起来就是这个样子’”。
2012的前半年“PARADISE”一直在录制中，这只是他工作的一部分，他的日程安排上写满了学习，录音，巡演，和数不清的电视节目以及推广宣传。不顾那些频繁的活动，以洛杉矶为基地的Simpson毅然决定多花些功夫在专辑上，随着时间的推移积累更多的生活经验。
“以前我觉得自己真的没有太多的东西去表达，”Simpson解释道，“但是近来我学到很多，我成长了一些，游览了一遍世界，我觉得有更多可写的东西了。”
“他们有他们的灵感，我有我的灵感，然后在录音室里我们把两者融合起来，”Simpson说，“能和这么多不同的艺术家一起工作真得很棒，因为我可以吸收不同的灵感，学到新的东西，这可以让我成为一个更好的歌手。我一直期望能够有所提高，然后为我的粉丝们制作我认为最棒的音乐。”
参与制作了大部分专辑的Simpson，在他的一些歌，例如“Got Me Good”中就表现出了一些艺术家对他的影响力，例如Jason Mraz， John Mayer,，和Jack Johnson。那种轻松的风格，清新的冲浪场景都体现了Simpson对家乡澳大利亚黄金海岸的深切思念。
“天堂，对我来说，就是家，”Simpson说。“我一年大概只能回家两次，所以，当我在家里时，我感觉自己就是在天堂里。这就是天堂这个地方的独特之处，它可以变成任何你希望的地方。听我专辑的人将会对天堂这个词产生一种全新的理解。”
从接触开始，音乐就成为了Simpson人生中必要的组成部分。看见他的父亲在聚会和烧烤野餐上为家人和朋友们表演吉他弹唱，这让他明白了音乐在凝聚人心方面有着不可思议的能量。受到鼓舞的他要求拥有一把自己的吉他，并且在七岁的时候开始学习演奏。
学习了一段时间后，Cody开始自己写歌。他继续练习并开始将自己的一些新颖的歌曲连带他对最喜爱歌手的翻唱视频传到YouTube网站上，例如翻唱 Justin Timberlake， Jason Mraz，和The Jacksons等人的歌。Simpson的YouTube迅速地在世界范围内掀起一阵浪潮，2008年8月的首次表演就收到了几百万的点击量。
