Music sensation, Simi opens up on why she left gospel music for secular music and more

Music sensation, Simisola Ogunleye a.k.a Simi, opened up on why she switched to secular music, her forthcoming album,  female artistes in the Nigerian music industry and more, in a recent interview.

According to ” Smile for me” crooner, she left gospel music for secular music because she wanted to explore music as an art, and take it as a job.

On when her album will be dropping, Simi said:
“I’m so excited and I am also a bit scared because I know a lot of work is going to go into it.  I’m a perfectionist, my producer is a perfectionist so between the both of us there probably is gonna be a lot of stress.’’

Speaking on why female artistes are perceived on a lower level than their male counterparts, Simi said:

“I don’t think that female artists are on a different level, I think it’s just society that puts guys ahead of women it’s not like women are less. ”
