Simon is a bully as others have noted here. Plus, his interview questions are not thought out or personalized to the artist and are the same for every interview. I took a little longer answering his nonsense questions than i guess he would have liked, and when i didn't agree to PAY for an album review, he threatened to post my interview in the "bad musicians" page. I felt like i was being ambushed by this outlet the entire time.

Simon Sarg (Simon Sargsyan
Simon Sarg (Simon Sargsyan, Armenian: Симон Саргсян) is a fake journalist/editor of JazzBluesNews - he plagiarized his "questions" from the Michael Limnios Blues Network. He scrapes "target" musicians from other sites website reviews, and invites them to be "interviewed' by email. His actual intent is to sell them ecommerce links from his "site" ( €120 Euro) to their album sales site. If you refuse his "ad buy" he becomes hostile and threatening. He may still "publish" the interview but will surround it with negative press, for example: "Interview with a bad musician, as if singer, problematic person" and/or "...in contrast to your thoughtless and mindless answers, I would understand the interrelationships and footnotes of the questions, and use them for my career, not make empty comments like you, your intelligence is low."
Nobody should give this man any exposure, information, help or assistance in any way.
BTW: he claims to have attended Berklee College of Music, but judging by his awful misuse and lack of understanding of the English Language, he would not have passed the enrollment.

A website where Simon Sarg defames
A website where Simon Sarg defames, slanders, insults many musicians who do not want to collaborate with him,-also through emails- Pages like these should be closed unless the defamatory comments about the musicians were removed, violate the honor of people.

A scammer in all sense
A scammer in all sense, violent in his attitude and despicable. According to a thread, famous page All About Jazz had issues with him due to copyright. This person should be banned from existence!

This Simon guy is a bully to artists
This Simon guy is a bully to artists, he actually threatened to write bad reviews about one of my clients who didn't choose to advertise with him. His gimmick is, he offers to do an interview with the artist, but then insists on them running ads in his publication. Very bullying tactics. Beware!
