Simmy

South African Electronic Dance / Experimental Pop / Afro-Pop music artist Simmy has carved out a distinctive position in the music industry. 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.
