Nigerian songstress Simisola Kosoko, famously known as Simi, attributes her success in the music industry to the trailblazing female artists who paved the way before her.

In a recent conversation with African Folder, the mother of one acknowledged the sacrifices of these women, emphasizing their role in breaking barriers in the male-dominated industry.

Simi humbly recognizes that her achievements are built upon the foundation laid by these workaholic women.

Having initially started her career as a gospel artist, Simi transitioned to secular music in 2014.

In a previous interview, she candidly shared her reason for the shift, citing the pursuit of a more financially rewarding path.

Simi's journey underscores the importance of recognizing and honoring the contributions of those who have come before us, while also acknowledging the evolution of one's own artistic trajectory.
