Simi further speaks about her inspiration behind her studio album titled “To Be Honest”. According to her, her album is a testimony of her musical journey.

“Making music has always been about passion for me. So, I trust my instincts and hope that people connect to what I’m sharing with them…and most of the time, they do. I wanted to create something that showed a glimpse of me that people hadn’t really seen before.

“I wanted to display a less edited version of myself. In fact, I wanted to share my perspective of my own story. A lot of people have shared what they think I am, how they think I am, and what they think drives me. It’s my turn now.”
