Biography

SIMÓN GÓMEZ VILLEGAS (he/him) is a burgeoning multidisciplinary artist from Bogotá, Colombia,
recently graduated from Oklahoma City University with degrees in Musical Theatre and Music Composition. Simón wrote music, book and lyrics for his first full length work: KEEP ME IN MIND: a sweeping and vibrant contemporary musical about a woman who must reckon with her past, present, and future as she balances how to be both a caretaker to her fading mother and a partner to her loving wife. Workshopped in two staged readings at OCU, and featured with the Latiné Musical Theatre Lab, the musical is still in an early development stage–there’s no telling how much more it’ll grow and where it’ll go! Aside from musical theatre composing, Simón also works on writing original music for Shakespeare plays and sonnets, as well as writing his own singer/songwriter music.
