Nigerian singer and songwriter, Simisola Bolatito Kosoko, who is popularly known as Simi, celebrates her 35th birthday.
Simi is a Nigerian singer and songwriter. Born in the Surulere area of Lagos state, Simi is the last in a family of four. Her parents separated when she was just nine years old.
Growing up, she was a member of her church choir and spent most of her time singing and dancing. She reportedly wrote her first song at the age of ten. But it wasn’t until she released her debut album, “Ogaju” that her music career began properly.
The Mass Communication graduate of Covenant University had a taste of fame in 2014 when her single “Tiff” earned her two nominations at The Headies. Although she didn’t win in either category, she had created a great impression as one of the emerging fine voices in the music industry. That same year, she released a song titled “Restless,” which earned her a recording deal with X3M. She is no longer with the record label, however.
The Nigerian singer’s real name is Simisola Ogunleye. Her adopted stage name is a contraction of her real name. Simi is one of the millennials in the music industry in Nigeria. She is currently 34 but will be 35 later in April 2023. Simi’s immediate family comprises herself, her husband Adekunle Gold, and their daughter Adejare Kosoko.
Simi is one of the singers who found love in the industry and eventually got married to a fellow musician. Her husband is Adekunle Gold. The pair have collaborated previously. Besides being husband and wife, the couple evinces great musical synergy when they work together. The “Duduke” songstress has a child with Adekunle Gold, a girl whom they named Adejare Kosoko.
However, Simi fondly calls her child Deja. She was born in 2020. Simi is the youngest of four children born to parents who divorced when she was nine – as she recalled in an interview years ago. Simi is not your wild celeb who is always in the news for flaunting wealth or for something disgraceful. Instead, she is on the lowkey side of the ride despite being rich.
Simi has done well as a singer and has an impressive net worth by Nigerian standards. The songstress reportedly has a net worth of about $1.5 million. Converted to naira, you have hundreds of millions.
