Andrew Sims -- known simply as Sims -- is a Minnesota-based rapper and member of the alternative hip-hop outfit Doomtree. Raised in the Minneapolis suburb of Hopkins and the son of two musicians, Sims was musically inclined from an early age. By his teens he had gravitated toward hip-hop and begun recording his own music at the local home studio of rapper/producer P.O.S. In 2002, after graduating high school, Sims, along with P.O.S. and a group of like-minded rappers, formed the underground hip-hop collective Doomtree, releasing several albums including 2003's False Hopes XIV. Buoyed by the group's growing profile, Sims released his debut solo album, 2005's Lights Out Paris. He then returned with Bad Time Zoo in 2011. In 2014, Sims released his third full-length album, Field Notes, featuring the single "Uh Huh." More Than Ever arrived in 2016 and became Sims' highest charting effort to date, debuting on the Billboard Heatseekers and R&B/Hip-Hop charts at number 18 and 34, respectively. ~ Matt Collar
