Wilcox had early success as a songwriter, winning the SOCAN No. 1 Song Award for her song “Stay”,[5] which reached the peak of Canadian music network’s Bravo! chart on October 18, 2005. The song was co-written and recorded by the distinctive Quebec-based star Jorane and appears on Jorane’s 2004 album, The You and the Now (produced by Michael Brook, and featuring Daniel Lanois).
“Stay” was Wilcox’s third co-written No. 1 song in little more than a year, each recorded by remarkably different performers. The others were “Home” (recorded by Three Days Grace – Jive/Zomba) – whose American sales exceeded 1,500,000, Canadian sales were in excess of 300,000, and charted for 31 weeks on BillBoard #2 Active Rock[6] as well as #1 on the MuchMusic Countdown.[7] Her song “Tell All Your Friends” (recorded by Projet Orange – SonyBMG) was #1 on the MuchMusic Countdown.[8] Wilcox has also worked with producer Mike Green (Paramore, the Matches) writing songs with Paris Hilton (including “Paris for President, which aired repeatedly on CNN,[9] and “Jailhouse Baby”), The Higher (Epitaph) and Ten Second Epic (Sony ATV) – the latter produced by Garth Richardson.
On March 9, 2008 her Kenyan video diary was broadcast across Canada on CBC News: Sunday.[10] Wilcox went to Kenya in the summer of 2007, after co-writing the official song for the 2006 International AIDS Conference (held in Toronto).
Wilcox co-wrote the No. 1 single “Man of Two Minds” with The Trews, the song appears on the album “No Time For Later” (Universal). She also helped write the title track. According to John-Angus MacDonald, the title came from a discussion between Wilcox and lead singer Colin MacDonald. Colin said “there’s no time for later, we’ll finish the song” and Wilcox, not realizing that Colin was not referring to a song, responded with “No, let’s work on that song.”.
Simon appears on The Kooks’ (EMI-UK) cover version of Peter Bjorn & John’s ‘Young Folks’ where she sings Victoria Bergsman’s part of the song.
The song was released on a free CD that accompanied the March 1, 2008 issue of the NME.
She has writing credits on albums by Jully Black (JUNO Award for R&B/Soul Recording of the Year),[14] Kalan Porter, Brian Melo, Ryan Malcolm (SonyBMG) and many others. BEAST’s Betty Bonifassi (The Triplets of Belleville) had help anglicizing her metaphor-heavy lyrics from Wilcox, who Bonifassi considers the group’s third member."
