Simi celebrates her birthday today, April 19, 2017.
The multi-talented musician who has been grinding since 2006 has shown steady growth with her craft.
Before signing to X3M
Music, Simi released her debut album titled "Ogaju" produced by
Samklef. The album which was tending towards a Gospel project housed the
popular song 'Ara ile'. An EP titled "Restless" was also released just
before she signed up with the X3M family.
Under X3M music, Simi has flourished with a number of wave making songs, collaborations, and successfully performances at shows.
Simi is currently working hard to release her next studio album under X3M Music.
As we wait patiently for that, here are five fun music and non-music facts about the songbird Simi.
She is a strong fan of Manchester United football club.
Yes, you can call her a "Red devil!",
Simi loves her football and doesn't hide it. On Twitter, Simi has
countless times shown her love and support for one of the most
successful football clubs in England - Manchester United.
She’s down to earth
Simi keeps it 100 everytime she
comments on stuff via her social media accounts. No forming, no
sugarcoating it. She's as real as they come.
She’s a geek sound engineer
Simi has been credited for mixing and
mastering Adekunle's "GOLD" album. Not many of her fans know she's
skilled in that department, which is known to be male dominated by the
likes of Zeeno Foster, Suka Sounds, Sheyman among others.
She's an Ojuelegba breed
When you hear them mention 'Ojuelegba'
in today's Nigerian music industry, Wizkid probably comes to mind first.
Simi has hardly mentioned it in her music that she was born in
Ojuelegba, Surulere neither did the town have much influence on her
music, Simi tells Pulse.
She attributes the reasons as being a posh child in a ghetto neighbourhood, and also moving away from that area at the early age of nine.
She's Adekunle Gold's 'Orente'
Adekunle Gold just revealed he wrote
the song 'Orente' for Simi. Responding to a fan's curiosity on Twitter
asking Simi if she inspired Adekunle's 'Orente', he expressly stated
that he did.
