Simi is a force to be reckoned with, thanks to her strong unique vocals and great lyrics.
Simi’s amazing unique vocals and songwriting skill is a huge advantage and edge to her career, keeping it going with sustenance and longevity.
The genesis started out as a gospel singer back in 2008 with her debut album Ogaju.
The singer, born Simisola Ogunleye, rerouted from a promising gospel career to writing about love and emotions.
Her trajectory was influenced by a subtle clamor for a break from the overwhelming supply of Afropop in Nigeria at the time.
Simi’s lithe vocals, perky persona, ability to interweave relatable anecdotes & lingo into songwriting and sound engineering revealed her from the clutter
After six (6) years she released a single titled’Tiff‘ an addictive song that blew minds and sparks heads, which marked her launch into mainstream prominence and automatically turning a household name.
Also, the single was an absolutely delightful piece that was massively accepted immediately, journeying down the ultimate goal of stardom

Simi‘s critically acclaimed second studio self-titled album Simisola smash records and won significant awards.
Simi’s voice can be termed as one of the remarkable attributes to her career, Sweet and mellifluously; “her voice sounds like heaven flowing down to earth”, “her vocals makes one feel like floating in the air”
On the one hand, the speculating sound gleaming similarities assumed through the vocal addictiveness, Simi‘s voice is very unique and will always trademark the natural vibe.

I disagree with the monotonous sound claim by some least proportion, going by her new proper afrobeat tune titled ‘Woman’, therefore it is just a critical assertion and when a musician gets complimented they really want to believe it, and if they don’t, they will take it as a great opportunity for them to learn that they could have done better and improved themselves.
Simi to me has been solidifying her spot on the top 10 Nigerian artists’ conversations, extensively exploring and orchestrating Afro-soul, Afro-pop, Afro R&B.
However, taking a toll on the all-inclusive career package, she is also a sound engineer, ultimately soaked with a musical atmosphere.
Most importantly, she is amazing and inspiring to a wider proportion, many young women look up to her, more especially the fact that surrounds her lifestyle.
In 2021, Simi shares a stunning song and music video for “Woman,” a track that sheds light on the barriers placed on women across societies and showcases female strength.
The ear-grabbing single is built on an afrobeat-leaning production that interpolates lyrics from Fela Kuti and others.
Earlier this month, Simi kicked off the #NobodyLikeWoman campaign, a storytelling challenge for women to share some of the unique and harrowing stigmas they deal with.
