Will Sims is a Baltimore-based singer and songwriter whose music blends rock, alternative, and pop into songs that span from heartfelt ballads to explosive anthems. For over a decade, he has been a fixture in the Mid-Atlantic music scene, known for writing songs that are both emotionally resonant and undeniably catchy.

Shaped by 90s influences like Matchbox Twenty, Goo Goo Dolls, and Oasis, Sims has a gift for crafting hook-driven melodies with universal themes of love, struggle, and hope. His catalog showcases a wide range of styles—from the intimate pull of “Will You Remember?” and “Lovesick” to the reggae-infused “Unwind,” hip-hop inspired “Gun to Your Head,” the hard rock punch of “Wrecker,” and the electronic-rock energy of “Better Off Alone”—a fan favorite built on a funky bass riff and a rap-inspired bridge.

Sims’ latest release, Do You Feel Alive?, is his most ambitious and personal project to date. A decade in the making, the seven-track album is a kaleidoscope of influences—darting between alternative rock, pop, ska, funk, industrial, and EDM—while staying anchored in raw emotion. From the urgent opener “Full Speed Ahead” to the introspective weight of “The Mourning Moon” and the luminous closing duet “There’ll Be Another Time,” the record plays like a journey through survival, growth, and hope. Highlights include the synth-driven pulse of “Better Off Alone” and the stirring “Amber Eyes,” featuring Lindsay Collette. Produced with longtime collaborator Tony Correlli at Deep End Studio, Do You Feel Alive? has been praised as a bold, transportive record that captures Sims’ restless creativity and fearless genre-blending spirit.

On stage, Sims is known for his dynamic performances that connect deeply with audiences. He has played shows across the East Coast and shared stages with national acts including Puddle of Mudd, Saving Abel, Adema, Otep, Taproot, Hurt, Smile Empty Soul, Ballyhoo, Jimmie’s Chicken Shack, and most recently, Return to Dust.

Sims’ music has been featured on radio stations in Maryland, Pennsylvania, and the Carolinas, as well as on online stations and podcasts nationwide. Whether on record or in concert, his goal remains the same: to create music that lingers long after the last note—songs that inspire connection, reflection, and a lasting emotional impact.
