Biography[]
Simeon first garnered attention in the entertainment industry before he could even speak. At five months old, he began starring alongside his family on the 1990s Nickelodeon hit cultural sensation Gullah Gullah Island. Since then, the South Carolina native has remained a fixture on television, with scene-stealing appearances in FX's Snowfall, BET's The Bobby Brown Story and American Soul, and a recurring role as Jabari on All American on The CW.
On and off screen, Simeon’s work is driven by a lifelong calling to bring epic Black stories to life—to reshape cultural narratives, shift perspectives, and create new worlds of limitless possibility.
In 2022, he formed SALTWATA, a multi-faceted media and lifestyle company amplifying Afrofuturism through entertainment and fashion.
