Born on April 17, 1992, Simeon Joseph Browne, formerly known as “Lil J” is a unique young man who can be referred to as a true ‘go getter’. He is the eldest of his mother’s four children and growing up with his grandmother, he learned the value of hard work.
From a tender age he always had a passion for music; from a regular singer at church to the singing of traditional folk songs his grandfather taught him.
He got so connected to the art that he one day transformed his backyard into a mini band room comprising of instruments made from old pots and tins and a keyboard that was given to him by his uncle. From constantly experimenting with his homemade band, he taught himself to play and write songs.
During his secondary school years at St Mary’s High, Browne became involved with everything musical in the school, including singing in the choir and participating in school concerts which later resulted in him receiving the St’ Mary’s Musical Award for the contributions he made.
After graduating, he was employed at a communication firm and took the same spirit of getting involved with music, which lead him to participating in the company’s “Qualfon’’ Idol competition and emerging as the winner.
Because of his faith and the inspiration he got from listening to songs from his icons, he subsequently got introduced to platinum records where he was exposed to new sounds and equipment. 
After recording and releasing his version of the popular folk song “Janey Gal”, Lil J became a household name and began performing with top artistes and bands in and around Guyana. In 2011 he decided to approach Kross Kolor Records and secured recording, management and producing deals.
To date, he has written songs for some of the most prevalent acts in Guyana and has performed for many diplomatic forums, stamping his name as “One To Watch”. Simeon is a singer/songwriter and one of Guyana’s youngest arrangers/producers.
He co-wrote and performed the song “Thank You” which was made for the President of Guyana; has performed at many concerts locally and regionally, and even shared the stage once with Damion “Junior Gong” Marley.
Browne was the Director of Production at Kross Kolor Records and is an active member and the secretary of the Guyana Music Network. Simeon started his Productions Company Wondamang Productions in 2008 and has been working with seasoned local and regional acts such as Jumo Primo, Adrian Dutchin, Fojo McPherson, Melissa “Vanilla” Roberts, Tennicia De Fraitas, Peter Ram, Jay Anderson, Exile De Brave, Shawn English and Grenada Music award winner, Richie Stanislaus.
The talented young man has composed and produced music for artistes as well as for big companies, ranging from GTT to Digicel Guyana and Guyana Goldfields.
He is responsible for the team song behind GTT’s biggest campaign – “Switch It Up’’. In late 2015, Simeon self-wrote, performed and mixed the winning theme song for Guyana Goldfields Inc, entitled “ A Golden Future’’.
With all the experience and exposure, Browne recently released his newest single, “Without your Love”. The song can he heard on Sound Cloud and he can be followed on Instagram and Twitter.
