Simone Kaye was born in London, but her life took an international turn at a young age, as she spent her early years living in Iran and Germany until the age of six. Her mother, also an actress, played a significant role in nurturing Simone's passion for acting by encouraging her to enroll at the Sylvia Young Theatre School at the age of eight.
As a creative child, Simone's artistic inclinations were evident from a young age, and she won a National Art Prize at the age of nine. Her love for both acting and art continued to flourish throughout her school years, and she went on to attend The Chelsea College of Art and Design, followed by a Bachelor of Arts with Honors in Visual Communication and Design at Middlesex University.
However, Simone's true calling lay in acting, and she pursued it further by studying at the renowned Central School of Speech and Drama. She even went on to earn a diploma at the London Academy of Performing Arts, where she refined her craft and explored her range in productions ranging from Shakespearean plays to modern works by authors like Carol Churchill.
Simone's stage credits include iconic roles such as Juliet in Romeo and Juliet and Lin in The Lyric Theatre's Cloud Nine. Her television appearances have been equally impressive, with notable roles in ITV's The Bill, Channel 4's Crime Team, and numerous UK films. Her versatility as an actress has allowed her to take on a wide range of characters and genres.
In addition to her acting talents, Simone is also an accomplished singer. During her time at the London Academy of Performing Arts, her singing abilities became apparent, and she was encouraged to pursue a solo music career. She has since performed at various venues, including The 10 Room in Cafe Royal, Cafe de Paris, The Bedford, and even embarked on a UK tour with Apple Computer.
Simone has also had the opportunity to collaborate with renowned musicians, including the Royal Academy of Music and Academy Award-winning musician Davey Spillane. Her music will be featured on the soundtrack of the forthcoming motion picture Carmilla, further solidifying her reputation as a talented and multifaceted artist.
