She’s one of the country’s future biggest stars. She has not only performed to thousands of fans, she also writes, co-composes and co-produces some of her own material.
 
Simmy couldn’t have come on the scene at a better time. As a new generation takes the reins, African roots music is needed more than ever to remind us of the troubled but at the same time colorful & nostalgic pathways of our own history. Her hard-hitting songs touch on modern issues and more personal narratives speaking to life and love in the digital age.
 
Having grown up in a musical household, her songs on her Album “TugelaFairy” are inspired by the legendary sounds of Brenda Fassie & The Big Dudes, Platform One, Soul Brothers and Izingane zo-Ma to name a few. Her sound is fueled by her rich low beautiful vocals & influential instrumentation. "Being born & raised in e-Msinga but at the same time witnessing various street cultures & music by the likes of Enya, Avicii, Robyn, Rihanna, Lauryn Hill & Chris Brown, radio and urban neighboring areas has shaped the way I approach my music, and has nurtured me as a person as well as my craft. I've discovered things I would never have if I hadn't had any of these experiences. It has been a journey both outwards and inwards." the young songstress adds.

I can let you
I can let you

What you doing tonight, baby we livin'
This could be the time of your life, make a decision
You can never pick any side, you're always switchin'
Girl you make me feel so alive, fuck with your visions

Imma show you a side that you ain't seen
You say that you feeling my vibes, beyond the screen
Baby I can show you my life behind the scenes
But that's if you ever decide to join my team
I met her in [?] she from the city
I was rolling in hunnids and she was tossing them fifties
Girl you want my mind and it's always filthy
Why don't we set the differences aside and come fuck with me
I remember I sit up all in your DM's, you curved me
In a person, you said that you didn't see them
Said you had a man and promise you'll never leave him
Now you call my phone and baby I can't believe it
