Being inspired to pick up the guitar after sifting through his brother’s music collection, Sim enrolled at The Academy of Contemporary Music in Guildford. In his first year, he completed the diploma in Contemporary Popular Music Performance with a Distinction and was also awarded Most Improved Guitarist of The Year Award with a year’s endorsement to Ernie Ball. He scored his first music publishing deal in 2008.
Whilst studying for the degree, he was chosen to perform live with Chad Smith of the Red Hot Chili Peppers at the Electric Theatre. He was taught by many leading professional guitarists within the industry, some of whom included Jamie Humphries, Pete Friesen (Alice Cooper/The Almighty), Guthrie Govan, Dave Kilminster and Eric Roche to name a few. Studying at the ACM allowed Sim to develop playing in a range of styles including Rock, Pop, Funk, Metal, Latin, Reggae, Jazz etc. Some of the other key skills gained while studying at the ACM were in pre production, post production, practical musicianship, technical and stylistic development, music business, music law, music theory, live performance, sight reading, session styles, solo performance, creative improvisation, composition and arrangement, and musical direction.
In 2011, Sim was in Los Angeles going for high profile auditions, and was considered as a guitarist for X Factor USA. Sim also was recording for a musical, and for the Marley and Me prequel movie soundtrack.
Sim enjoys recording in the studio and can perform under pressure whether it be in a live, recording or song writing situation. He has an extensive experience of live performance and continues to enjoy gigging.
