Before becoming a judge on Pop Idol in 2001, Simon worked as a music producer, consultant, and scout in the 1980s.

Simon took use of the show’s popularity to launch two more talent competition series that have now become massive hits throughout the world: The X Factor and Got Talent.Twice, in 2004 and 2010, he was recognised as one of the world’s 100 most important people.
