Nigerian songstress, Simisola Kosoko, better known as Simi, has opened up about the driving force behind her successful music career.

The talented artist, who is also a mother, credited the trailblazing female musicians who came before her for paving the way in the male-dominated music industry. She expressed gratitude towards those women who defied norms and broke barriers, making it easier for others like her to thrive.

In a recent discussion with African Folder, Simi humbly acknowledged, “There are women who have worked tirelessly to challenge the status quo. I owe a lot of my success to them.”

Simi initially started her musical journey as a gospel singer before transitioning to secular music in 2014. In a previous interview, she candidly revealed that she made the switch because gospel music wasn’t as financially rewarding.

The singer’s story is a testament to the resilience and determination of female artists in the music industry. Simi’s success serves as a reminder of the importance of acknowledging and appreciating the efforts of those who paved the way for future generations.

By recognizing the contributions of those who came before her, Simi continues to inspire and empower aspiring musicians, especially women, to pursue their dreams fearlessly.
