Joyce Sims is a multi-talented recording artist and musician who lit up the music industry with her first hit single, the now classic club anthem “(You Are My) All and All,” which was released in 1986. “All and All”, produced by Mantronik, was an international hit that gained immense radio play, entering the charts at #51 and peaking at #6 in the US Dance Chart and #16 on the UK Singles Chart. Sims followed up in 1988 with another classic single, “Come into My Life,” which peaked at #10 on the Billboard R&B Chart, and #7 on the UK Singles Chart.

A native New Yorker, Sims who also plays piano and writes most of her songs. On her resurgence in the industry Sims said, “These are exciting times for me right now. I have a great team behind me. I’m working with some amazing writers, musicians and producers on the "Love Song" project and I’m loving it. I’m humbled by all the love and support that I’m receiving.” Sims’ manager, music industry impresario Ken Spellman, CEO of Soundcheck Media Group commented, “I’m honored to be working with the legendary Joyce Sims. Her music has withstood the test of time and she continues to tour and produce soulful dance music that the world enjoys. Based on early feedback from her fans and DJ’s, her new project “Love Song” should do well internationally.”
