Hello! My name is Joel Sim, and I tell stories through music.
About Me
Joel was born in Singapore. He studied Contemporary Writing & Production and Professional Music at Berklee College of Music and has worked as a composer/orchestrator/copyist/keyboardist on projects including Singapore National Day Show 2020, Searchlight Pictures's "Wendy" , Avengers: The Age of Ultron, XCOM2, Sound of My Dream《梦想的声音》and JJ Lin’s “Sanctuary”.
Joel currently resides in Singapore. He has been blessed with opportunities to work with friends and musicians from different continents. When he is not glued to his workstation, Joel enjoys photography, running marathons and having coffee with his friends. He is very grateful to his mentors, friends and family for all the support and love he has received over the years.
