About Simone Kaye

Simone Kaye was born in London, but from an early age lived an international lifestyle (in Iran and Germany) until the age of 6 years old. Her mother, also an actress, instilled the acting bug in Simone by encouraging her to enroll at the Sylvia Young Theatre School from the age of 8. The creative arts have always been a predominant feature in Simone's life and she won a National Art Prize aged 9. Throughout her school years Simone combined her love of acting with her love of art and went on to attend The Chelsea College of Art and Design, followed by a B.A. Hons in Visual Communication and Design at Middlesex University. But, her love of acting prevailed and led her to study at the famous Central School of Speech and Drama (where she re-confirmed her true calling) and pursued it to post graduate level with a diploma at the London Academy of Performing Arts. Since graduating from the Academy, she has performed in leading roles in numerous productions from Shakespeare to modern writers such as Carol Churchill. Her stage performances include 'Juliet' in Romeo and Juliet and 'Lin' in The Lyric Theatre's, Cloud Nine. Her TV roles include 'Joan of Arc' in Women of War, ITV's The Bill and Channel 4's Crime Team as 'Elizabeth Goth', as well as numerous UK films. During her time at Drama School, Simone's talent as a singer became evident. Encouraged by the Academy she became an accomplished solo artist. Having left the Academy she was invited to headline at The 10 Room in Cafe Royal, which led to many further performances at venues such as Cafe de Paris, The Bedford and even a U.K tour with Apple Computer's. She has performed in Bulgaria with Cosmic Voices, with the Royal Academy of Music and with Academy award winning musician Davey Spillane. Her music will appear on the soundtrack for forthcoming motion picture 'Carmilla'.
