Simone Kaye was born in London, but from an early age lived an international lifestyle (in Iran and Germany) until the age of 6 years old. Her mother, also an actress, instilled the acting bug in Simone by encouraging her to enroll at the Sylvia Young Theatre School from the age of 8. The creative arts have always been a predominant feature in Simone's life and she won a National Art Prize aged 9.
