Meet Simon Nunez, aka King Spade, a Cebu-based musician, and an entrepreneur.

Inspired by his grandfather and father, who were also musicians in the 1990s, he spent his younger years listening to their music and taught himself how to play the guitar and read music.

He followed his passion, joining several Cebu bands as a bass player and singing at gigs around Cebu and Manila. He recorded his first Ep vinyl under a Japanese record label before covid hits in 2019.

Injecting a different vibe into the music scene in Cebu, Simon writes music and lyrics fusion of rock and reggae. In his own words, he ‘treats music like a woman’.

What started as a hobby of collecting vinyl records, he decided to open Pavement Records, selling extensive collections of vinyl records of all types and old-school favourites.
