Australian multi-instrumentalist Simon Okely creates heartfelt soft rock and R&B-inspired balladry under the alias of Slow Dancer. Okely was formerly the guitarist in the indie band Oh Mercy, but in 2013 decided he wanted to branch out on his own, and Slow Dancer was born. He quickly got to work in his home recording studio to produce his debut single, 2013's "Leave It to Me." A year later, he had written enough tracks for his debut album, Surrender, which he self-released in 2014. In early 2017, he released "Don't Believe," the first single from his sophomore album, In a Mood. ~ Liam Martin
