He is a talented swimmer and won two gold medals at the Queensland Swimming Championships in 2009 under the guidance of Miami Swim Club coach Ken Nixon.
It was also during this year that he became interested in singing and began to cover songs by Justin Timberlake, Jason Mraz, and the Jackson 5. He also wrote some of his own songs. The young man uploaded his cover songs to YouTube, and his talent was finally recognized.
The young talented singer rose to fame after appearing on the Australian TV show 7.30 Report. In May 2010, he and Flo Rida released their debut single “iYiYi”. After releasing his second single and music video “Summertime”, he moved to Los Angeles and signed with Atlantic Records. He went on several tours with other artists and released his first EP “4 U” at the end of the year.
A year later, Cody released his second EP, Coast to Coast. In 2011, he also participated in the “Waiting 4U” tour with Greyson Chance. Simpson’s debut album, Paradise, was released in October 2012, and he toured Europe the following year. He supported Justin Bieber on his “Believe” tour and performed at his concerts.

After some hard work, the young musician released another album, “Surfers Paradise”, which entered the top ten of the Billboard 200 chart upon its release. In the same year, he released an acoustic album with covers of his most famous songs. In 2014, the celebrity participated in the show “Dancing with the Stars” with Witney Carson.
The duo was eliminated in week five, ultimately finishing in ninth place. The following summer, he toured Europe with Jackson Harris, performing his acoustic songs, before parting ways with his record label over creative differences.
In 2015, Cody released his next album, Free, his first independent effort after leaving the record company and starting his own record label, Coast House.
In 2017, the singer decided to form his own band, Cody Simpson and the Tide. He was the lead singer and guitarist, while Shareef Addo and Adrian Cota were the bassists and drummers.
