Yan Simon is a singer-songwriter and recording artist creating pop music inspired by the emotional storytelling and spectacle of theatre. Blending upbeat, synth-driven electropop with heartfelt piano ballads, Yan's songwriting explores queer identity, overcoming loss, love, and mental health.
 

Known for his signature eyeliner and powerful voice, Yan's theatrical yet vulnerable performances evoke legendary queer icons Freddie Mercury and Elton John, while drawing major musical influence from Lady Gaga.
 

Since 2020 Yan has independently written, recorded, and released two studio albums, an EP, multiple singles, and accompanying music videos. His music received radio airplay across Ontario and British Columbia, including notable support for singles “Hey Boy” and “What Feels Good”, and a nomination at the Inaugural Q Music Awards. His single “Marathon” is featured in the Ottawa-made Bell FibeTV film "Cassandra".
 

With a sound that balances cinematic pop with raw emotion, Yan continues to establish himself as a distinctive emerging voice in Canadian pop music.
Alongside his music career, Yan is also a musical theatre performer in Ottawa.
