That young woman with such uncanny creative talent and versatility is no other than Simisola Ogunleye, a.k.a Simi. Simi, a mass communications graduate, is no stranger to the Nigerian music industry. She wrote her very first tune at the age of 10 and started out singing and dancing in her early teens as a member of the teenage church choir. Eventually, she went on to launch her debut album in 2008, which was produced by Samklef. The album spawned hits such as Ara Ile, Ogaju, Iya Temi, to name a few.
In 2011, she met the talented producer/songwriter (Oscar Heman-Ackah) and they both connected musically. However, it wasn't until 2013 that she officially signed a production contract with Oscar Music Production, after which they both nurtured and created a fresh and genius direction to her sound, style and music in its entirety. Via this platform, she eventually got signed to X3M Music, the Lagos-based record label which is home to Nigerian R&B sensation Praiz.
Simiβs genre of music is Afro-pop, although she also dabbles in pop and soul. Her two singles, 'Tiff' & 'E No Go Funny" dropped on June 9th 2014.

Simi's song "Mind Your Business" is a reminder to individuals to abstain from meddling in others' affairs. The lyrics introduce an individual discussing a lady they know with 20k followers on Instagram, and the gossip begins to snowball from there. Simi goes on to urge individuals to concentrate on their own lives and abstain from interfering in the lives of others. She pointedly responds with the phrase "Mind your business" to discourage gossip and idle talk.
Simi's lyrics challenge people's propensity to explore the lives of others, rather than concentrating on themselves. She encourages individuals to remain focused on their own activities, and hold back from meddling in the lives of others. In doing so, people can avoid needless stress, and find peace in minding one's business.
The song reflects the current state of pop culture, where social media has drawn individuals' focus away from discussing their own issues to judging others. Simi's "Mind Your Business" reminds people to keep their priorities straight, put their energy into their lives, and live in harmony with others.
