S1mba is a genre-blending artist hailing from the United Kingdom, known for his unique incorporation of Afrobeat inspirations into contemporary rap and R&B. Born March 17, 1999, in Zimbabwe as Leonard S1mba, he moved to the U.K. at a young age, which allowed him to foster a diverse musical palette that shines through in his work. S1mba's rise to recognition was meteoric, with his breakthrough hit "Rover" putting him on the charts and earning a remix featuring DTG, which further amplified his popularity.

After "Rover," he continued to build his discography with a steady stream of releases such as "HITA," "Get Busy (Mshikashika)," and "PARTY & BS." His versatility is evident in tracks like "Starsign" that echo his melodic sensibilities, and "Tempo," which showcases his ability to create upbeat dance records. S1mba also collaborates with other artists, as seen in "Plenty Plenty," where he joined forces with Midas The Jagaban and Ivorian Doll. His continued relevance in the music scene is marked by his willingness to evolve and push the boundaries of his sound, making him a notable figure among the emerging talents in the fusion of Afrobeat and U.K. music scenes.
