Hi, I’m Simon Stone (Simon Rochette-Pelletier), a Québec-based musician with over two decades of experience across guitar, bass, drums, vocals, composition, and production. I began busking on the streets in 2004 with jazz bassist Alexandre Leblanc, developing a strong sense of rhythm, improvisation, and live performance. I founded Mañana Souls in 2013-2014 as singer and guitarist, then evolved into a solo artist under the name Simon Stone, exploring alternative rock, experimental soundscapes, electro-organic textures, and atmospheric compositions. My parallel project The Infused continues my sonic exploration, and I maintain complete artistic autonomy—from writing and recording to production and visual branding. I collaborate with musicians, digital creators, and visual artists to craft multi-genre pieces that emphasize emotional depth and texture. I am passionate about sound design and bring hands-on production skills to every project.
