CODY SIMPSON

Music has played an integral part in Cody’s life since he was a child. He began posting YouTube videos of himself performing his original songs alongside stellar covers by some of his favorite artists racking up millions of views.

In April 2010, Cody released his debut single, “iYiYi” (featuring Flo Rida) and began to win over U.S. fans with a series of dynamic live performances. Following a move to Los Angeles, Cody released his debut EP, 4 U, in December - which spawned the No. 1 Radio Disney hit “All Day.” In September 2011, Simpson made a stunning chart debut with Coast to Coast, which entered Billboard’s album chart at No. 12 and earned Cody his second Radio Disney No. 1, “On My Mind.”

Cody has made a host of high-profile TV appearances, including The Today Show, Live! with Kelly, and The 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. He 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 “Awesome Aussie,” “Aussie Muso,” and the prestigious “Super Fresh.” Cody showcased his latest tracks “Pretty Brown Eyes” and “Awake All Night” as part of a stellar live appearance at the 2013 Radio Disney Music Awards.

Cody has also been profiled in a range of national publications, while also receiving extensive TV coverage including E! News and Access Hollywood. He 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. In addition, Cody, a natural and charismatic performer, has toured nearly non-stop, including his sold-out “Welcome to Paradise” headline tour, co-headline tours with Big Time Rush, and appearances at such events as the White House Easter Egg Roll and the Arthur Ashe Kids Day festivities at the U.S. Open. Cody’s own Coast To Coast Tour of U.S. malls drew huge crowds everywhere it went in 2011.

In 2013, Cody launched his European headlining tour and hit the road as support for Justin Bieber’s U.S. and European Believe Tour, playing to crowds of over 20,000. Cody also supported Justin Bieber in Argentina and Australia, followed by his 36-city North American Paradise Tour. HarperCollins released Cody’s official autobiography, Welcome To Paradise: My Journey, which features never-before-seen photos and exclusive details about Cody’s life on and off stage, including his early years as a competitive swimmer. 2014 has seen Cody sell out massive US and European runs, headlining Slimefest Australia, and in November Cody released "Home to Mama" in collaboration with Justin Bieber.
