Prozzäk (also known as Simon and Milo[1]) are a Canadian virtual pop music duo formed by Jay Levine and James Bryan McCollum in 1998.
Their recordings and animated music videos tell the comedic tale of their frontmen, Simon (Levine) and Milo (McCollum), who are best friends on a search to find true love.
[4] The song did not fit in with the music produced by the Philosopher Kings, but the band's record company, Sony Canada, approved of it, so the two set aside their differences and created Prozzäk in 1998.
The album overhauled Simon and Milo's appearance, with "When I Think of You" receiving an animated music video directed by Frederick Marcello Wilmot at Horus Productions.
After being inactive for several years, Prozzäk performed a reunion concert at the Atomic Lollipop Festival in Toronto on July 18, 2015, where they debuted a new song.
[9] In March 2018, the band attempted to launch Prozzak: Love Addicts, an animated series produced by Portfolio Entertainment and Duopoly.
The creation of Simon and Milo initially began with accents suggested by the other members of The Philosopher Kings during their road trips.
During their battle with each other, a Great Unseen Voice projected down from the sky and told them they were to be best friends, sent through time to the 21st century, where they were given a mission.
[14] In their music videos, Simon, a short and skinny man with jet-black hair and no neck, is in constant search of his true love, believing that the perfect woman is out there.
Their introduction in the album Saturday People tells of their many visits to nightclubs and bars in hopes of finding true love, after which Simon gives up, and lies "face down in his own banana milkshake".
Just then, the Great Unseen Voice from the heavens calls out, telling them that they have lost their way, and reminds them that only True Love holds the key to their destiny.
Through the music, Simon tells stories that represent Levine's actual life; for example, the song "Anna-Lisa" makes reference to his parents' divorce.
