Simeon Wong is a high school student with a particular interest in the performing arts. Often described by his teachers, other adults, and peers as someone with talent and a great deal of potential, he has been involved with music at an early age. As a vocalist, he expressed a natural ability to sing at a young age; he began to expand that ability through the Pacific Boychoir Academy starting in 2015. Through the choir he has also been able to expand his expertise on music theory.
Since having joined the organization, Simeon has appeared with the choir alongside the San Francisco Symphony and has performed in venues such as the Davies Symphony Hall and the Cathedral of Christ the Light in Oakland. With the choir, he has also embarked on tours, first domestically with them to states like Arizona, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York; then internationally to countries of Spain and Peru. Within the choir, he has spent four years as part of an a cappella group named Continuum, and has gone on to compete with them in the International Championship of High School A Cappella (ICHSA) all the way to the semifinal level. Alongside this involvement in the choir, he has begun to develop his voice as a soloist baritone.

Outside of vocal performance, Simeon has played piano since the age of three, being his first musical endeavor. He has since gone on to be an accompanist on some occasions, notably playing for the choir at the Junior Bach Festival in 2024. Another performing arts field he has delved into is theatre, starting with middle school Shakespeare productions, and continuing into high school musicals and plays. In theatre, he has not only developed skills for acting, but he has also learned the ropes of the technical aspects of theatre.
Simeon also has an interest in photography and videography, having a few years of experience operating mirrorless cameras for both photos and videos. He manages a YouTube channel focused on public transportation that is the primary focus of his videography, and as of recently, he has begun to post his photographs online.
