Rob Simmons unveils his latest work, Metamorphosis Complete Symphony, a fully hand-crafted album that showcases his lifelong dedication to musicianship and composition. Growing up immersed in everything from marching bands to rock music, Simmons began composing at just seven years old. His early exposure to diverse musical forms laid the foundation for a creative voice that is both classically grounded and boldly contemporary.

Although he no longer listens to music recreationally, Simmons’ artistic DNA is unmistakably shaped by great classical composers such as Bach, Mozart, and Beethoven, along with rock and pop artists whose craft and instrumental skill command respect. This wide-ranging musical heritage informs the emotional depth and technical precision found throughout Metamorphosis Complete Symphony.

In an age dominated by digital shortcuts, Simmons takes a purist’s approach: every instrument on the album was performed and recorded in real time, with no samples, loops, or programmed elements. His mission is clear—to revive and celebrate true musicianship through modern production methods, reminding listeners of the artistry that comes from human hands and genuine performance.

Simmons’ creative journey has been shaped by mentorship from award-winning composers Guy Mitchelmore (Jungle Book: The Movie) and Peter Howell (BBC Radiophonics, Doctor Who). The album’s sonic quality is elevated further by the work of renowned sound and mix engineer John Gallen, whose credits include Queen, Dire Straits, Boy George, and Simply Red.

With Metamorphosis Complete Symphony, Rob Simmons delivers a powerful testament to craftsmanship, authenticity, and the enduring spirit of musical artistry.
