editSimon Duffy first gained recognition for his work as a writer and mixer on "Chase the Sun", a hit single by Planet Funk that reached number 5 on the UK Singles Chart[2][3] and has become a longstanding anthem for darts in the UK.[4]
His collaborative works include projects with artists including Dino Lenny,[5] Paul Harris, and Mr Hudson. In 2015, Duffy's song "One Night Lover" with Paul Harris and Dragonette achieved over eleven million streams on Spotify.[6]
In 2014, Duffy produced the EP Let The Night by Dirty Vegas, which was certified by FIMI[7]
His production work on the album Pressure in an Empty Space by Buchanan led to a nomination for the Vanda & Young Global Songwriting Competition in 2016,[8] while the single "Coming Down" debuted at No. 29 on the Music Week Commercial Pop Chart[9] and was also nominated as a semi-finalist in the 2014 International Songwriting Competition.
