Kevin Simm (born Kevin Ian Simm, on 5 September 1980) from Chorley, Lancashire, England, is a pop singer and vocalist with the band Liberty X.

Professional career

Kevin Simm attended Leyland St Marys Catholic Technology College during 1991-1996, where he showed promise as a junior footballer. However, Simm decided he preferred a musical career and joined a local indie band called AnAlien and started writing his own material. While he was singing in the band, his aunt secretly applied for him to go on the TV show Stars in Their Eyes. He went to the auditions and got through, appearing on the show as Simon Fowler of Ocean Colour Scene.

After working for several years as a professional singer on the northern pubs and clubs circuit, and spending a summer season in a band (Force 5) with James Fox, he auditioned for the ITV reality TV show Popstars.

Simm narrowly failed to get in the winning group, and so joined the 'losers' group Liberty X. They subsequently went on to gain huge success, including a UK number one single. Kevin is currently still in the group, however he recently also took part in the Channel 4 reality TV show, The Games, in which he received a silver medal.

In 2006 he re-visited his old high school as a guest of honour at their annual prize day.
