Simpson’s newfound free time comes at the perfect time, as he’s set to release his album Free on June 23.
“A lot of inspiration comes from the process of breaking free,” he explained. “Becoming independent, leaving my record label and starting my own little thing. Doing it by myself has been a really cool, liberating experience. It captures a really raw moment in my life.”
Playing shows throughout the rest of the year, Simpson is focused on performing “as much as possible to get the message out to more and more people over the course of the time.”

“These girls can do a lot of things I can’t do,” Simpson said of Bogucki and Tevlin. “I can do things that they can’t do. It’s all about what we can do. That’s what I think is cool about Special Olympics and being part of it. Shedding light on people’s abilities because these people can do some really rad things.”
