Mets fan Jordan Simpson turns viral series recaps into musical sensations

Jordan Simpson first attracted attention when a video of him drumming to the SNY Mets theme exploded on social media, earning thousands of new followers. He now routinely creates a custom song for every Mets series, selecting a style that reflects the city of the opposing team—such as a Weeknd-inspired track for Toronto or a Bell Biv Devoe homage for Boston. Production can take anywhere from a couple of hours to a full day, and he often writes the piece late at night after attending games, like the 2024 NLDS win over the Phillies.

While pursuing a graduate degree at Liberty University, Simpson squeezes the creative process into his schedule, listening to potential tracks while commuting. His work has drawn praise from fans who encounter him at stadiums and from musicians like the New York band Lawrence, with whom he has collaborated. Despite the Mets’ poor standing in the NL East, his upbeat musical recaps continue to energize the fan base.
