Little Simz, whose real name is Simbiatu "Simbi" Abisola Abiola Ajikawo, is a British rapper, singer, and actress, emerging as one of the most sophisticated and multifaceted talents in the contemporary music scene. Born on February 23, 1994, in Islington, London, to Nigerian parents, her artistic journey began early and was marked by a drive to express herself through a blend of introspective lyricism and innovative soundscapes.

Little Simz garnered critical acclaim with the release of her 2015 debut album, “A Curious Tale of Trials + Persons,” and continued to build her repertoire with subsequent albums such as “Stillness in Wonderland” and “GREY Area,” the latter earning her comparisons to some of the most respected names in hip-hop. Her 2019 work catapulted her into a new level of recognition and praise, reflecting her storytelling prowess and lyrical acuity. With her 2021 album, "Sometimes I Might Be Introvert," Little Simz pushed her creative boundaries even further, weaving together orchestral arrangements and deeply personal narratives that resonated with a wide audience. This critical darling of the UK rap scene is known not only for the authenticity in her recordings, such as "Drop 6" and "NO THANK YOU," but also for capturing the zeitgeist in projects beyond music, including a role in the hit Netflix series “Top Boy.” Little Simz’s ability to balance commercial success with artistic integrity continues to define her as one of the most compelling and important voices in modern music.
