She had a passion for music right from childhood, and so she joined her church&#8217;s teenage choir, where she used to sing and dance. Probably due to her church background, she began her career in the music industry as a gospel singer, releasing her debut studio album titled <i>Ogaju <\/i>in 2008. Produced by Samklef, some of the popular singles in the album include<em> Iya Temi, Ara Ile<\/em>, and others<\/p>\n<p>However, a few years later, Simi switched over to singing secular songs and got her breakthrough in the mainstream music industry in 2014 under the record label X3M Music, which she was signed to in the same year. During her time at X3M Music label, she released several hits and featured in several hit records such as <em>Soldier<\/em>, with <a href=\"https:\/\/buzznigeria.com\/falz-biography-girlfriend-age-father\/\">Falz<\/a>, <em>No Forget<\/em>, with <a href=\"https:\/\/buzznigeria.com\/adekunle-gold-25-facts\/\">Adekunle Gold<\/a>, <em>Orire<\/em>, with Legendury Beatz, and a few others.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Her EP<em>, Restless,<\/em> Released in 2014, Gave Her a Place in the Music Industry<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>With Restless, Simi started gaining more recognition and ground on the music front.

In the same January 2014, she released two singles <em>Tiff,<\/em> and <em>E No Go Funny. <\/em>These two songs were successful as they received frequent airplay with positive reviews from critics. They also were nominated for Best Alternative Song at the 2015 edition of The Headies. The video of <em>Tiff,<\/em> directed by Josh Clarke, was released on 30 August 2015 and gained massive views.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_70973\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-70973\" style=\"width: 700px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-70973\" src=\"https:\/\/buzznigeria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Simi-ep-restless.jpg\" alt=\"Simi ep restless\" width=\"700\" height=\"461\" srcset=\"https:\/\/buzznigeria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Simi-ep-restless.jpg 700w, https:\/\/buzznigeria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Simi-ep-restless-260x171.jpg 260w, https:\/\/buzznigeria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Simi-ep-restless-696x458.jpg 696w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-70973\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/gramng.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Screenshot_20201001-143738_Instagram.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">image source<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>In 2016, Simi released an EP with Falz titled <em>Chemistry.<\/em> Produced by Sess in October 2016, <em>Chemistry<\/em> became Simi&#8217;s most successful collaboration.

Then on 19 April 2019, to celebrate her 31st birthday in grand style, she released her third album titled <em>Omo Charlie Champagne, Vol. 1.\u00a0<\/em>Against her normal afro-centric kind of songs, the album slightly took a different style, having a mixture of Afropop, Afro-fusion, moombahton, Afro-soul, R&amp;B, EDM, and a sentimental ballad. Simi revealed in an interview that the album is a dedication to her father, Charles Oladele Ogunleye, who died in 2014.<\/p>\n<p><em>Omo Charlie Champagne, Vol. 1<\/em> is a 13-track album featuring guest vocals such as Maleek Berry, <a href=\"https:\/\/buzznigeria.com\/patoranking-bio-son-girlfriend-house-cars\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Patoranking<\/a>, Falz, and her husband, <a href=\"https:\/\/buzznigeria.com\/adekunle-gold-25-facts\/\">Adekunle Gold<\/a>. It was produced by Oscar with contributions from Vtek, Legendary Beatz, and Sess.

The multiple award-winning singer has made fortunes out of mouthwatering endorsement deals she signs. On 10 February 2017, Simi was endorsed by one of Nigeria&#8217;s telecoms firms, Etisalat, as its ambassador. Upon bagging this lucrative deal, in the same year, she landed another mouthwatering contract as a brand ambassador for a multinational mobile web browser, Opera Mini. Though the exact amount she was paid is not made public, these two deals are recorded to be worth millions of naira.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_70972\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-70972\" style=\"width: 689px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-70972\" src=\"https:\/\/buzznigeria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Simi-bags-a-deal-with-etisalat.jpg\" alt=\"Simi bags a deal with etisalat\" width=\"689\" height=\"394\" srcset=\"https:\/\/buzznigeria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Simi-bags-a-deal-with-etisalat.jpg 689w, https:\/\/buzznigeria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Simi-bags-a-deal-with-etisalat-260x149.jpg 260w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 689px) 100vw, 689px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-70972\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.dailygossip.ng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/silat.jpg?fit=689%2C394\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">image source<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Furthermore, in addition to her music career, Simi is a sound engineer, and she obviously earns money from it. She is recognized to be the engineer behind the mixing and mastering of her husband Adekunle Gold&#8217;s debut studio album titled <em>Gold.<\/em> She also does mixing and mastering for other artists in Nigeria. Not only that, the Duduke singer earns a bit part of her income from acting. She made her acting debut in 2019 with the movie<em> Mokalik,<\/em> a film directed by Kunle Afolayan. She also gets paid to play assisting roles in movies.<\/p>\n<p>Upon expiration of Simi&#8217;s contract with her first record label X3M Music in May 2019, she did not renew the contract but had plans to launch her own independent label. X3M Music announced her departure, and both parties agreed to part ways. Then in the following month, June 2019, she launched her record label, Studio Brat. Under her record label, she has released several songs, including <em>Duduke,<\/em> her second EP titled <em>Restless II,<\/em> which is a continuation of <em>Restless EP, <\/em>and many others. Admittedly, she earns largely from music, yet, it goes without saying that her net worth in recent years was achievable through her record label.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Simi Has Several Awards to Her Name<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Given her outstanding and impressive performance and contribution to the Nigerian entertainment industry, Sim has been recognized with notable and top awards on several occasions.

Her very tiny but clear voice is so easy to distinguish. Like a trademark, her voice cannot go unrecognized on the radio. Unlike Beyonc\u00e9 and some other singers, whose soft singing voice is deeper when they talk, Simi&#8217;s singing voice is the same as her talking voice. Her child-like textured voice makes her even more adorable and interesting to have a conversation with.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Her Size: <\/strong>They say big things usually come in small packs, and that goes for Simi. Her petite stature, height, and matching voice make her an object to fall in love with. Her age, which is not reflected in her physic, does not matter, as she looks and sounds like a child &#8211; which is very cute for a music star who appeals more to the younger generation.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Her Fashion Sense: <\/strong>Simi understands fashion and knows what best suits her size. She loves wearing above-the-knee apparel &#8211; gowns, bums, etc. However, when she rocks jeans trousers, she does it so well and does not forget to accessorize with a scarf or choker necklace.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Laughter: <\/strong>Simi loves to smile and laugh a lot &#8211; one you won&#8217;t forget in a hurry. Listening to her laughter can be as addictive as doing the same to her songs &#8211; her laughter can stay imprinted in your subconscious for a while.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Her Playful Nature: <\/strong>The talented singer has a playful disposition. People who follow her on social networks can tell from her videos and pictures that she is simple and loves to play and create fun for herself. She is known on Instagram (@symplysimi) for sharing videos of herself singing or smiling and saying nothing or saying something funny.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Simi is a -year-old beautiful and petite Nigerian Afro-Pop singer, songwriter, and sound engineer who gained recognition in the music scene in 2014 with her song Tiff, which was nominated for Best Alternative Song at The Headies 2015.
