Rick Simon grew up singing and participating in choir. His grandmother played piano in the church. He was also a bit of a jock and played football but found singing to be his true passion. A chance meeting with Philip Michael Thomas helped get his start into a music career. He owned a theatre in the North Miami area and sponsored some local talent shows. Rick participated in a talent show and Mr. Thomas fell in love with his voice. He quickly took Rick under his wing and facilitated him making a music album with his daughter. He later introduced me to Hollywood and got me into films. 

Rick has been in two movies in the 90s, “Only the Strong” and “The Substitute.” After filming these, he was offered a record deal and recorded an album. This allowed him to travel and get a global perspective on cultures. It helped him tremendously in creating a life full of joy and fulfillment around his creative world of music and business world of insurance titles and became the foundation blocks of who he is today. Rick’s father, Richard Ball, has been a big influence in his life. He is a doctor and leading some interesting projects. After taking a brief hiatus to tend to the business side of life, Rick is back and better than ever with his latest single dropped in March 2024, “Find my way back”,  which is gaining some heavy talk on the billboard charts. With many other projects in the queue at All Hale there will be much more coming from Rick Simon.
