Matthew Sims, commonly known by his stage name Mount Sims (or Mt. Sims), is a Berlin-based American DJ, performance artist, and producer. A native of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Sims began his career in the local music scene. Sims was involved in several groups, the most notable of which was Citizen King, an alternative rock band famous for their 1999 hit "Better Days (And the Bottom Drops Out)", which reached #25 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart. However, Citizen King disbanded by 2002 for undisclosed reasons. Around the same time, Sims relocated to Los Angeles, where he continued his music career as a solo artist. Starting Mount Sims as an electronic music act, later releases have also shown influences from post-punk, new wave, and dark wave. Sims is almost exclusively responsible for every aspect of his music, providing vocals, instrumentation, and production. He was originally supported by three dancers, one of whom was the dancer/choreographer Ryan Heffington. The last incarnation, Mt. Sims, was a three-piece band that included Rand Twigg on bass and Andre Lange on drums. His first album, UltraSex, released through International DeeJay Gigolo Records in Europe and Emperor Norton Records in the US, was released to good reviews.
