Little Simz (born Simbiatu "Simbi" Abisola Abiola Ajikawo on February 23, 1994) is a British rapper, singer, and actress known for her introspective lyricism, genre-defying sound, and independent approach to the music industry. Hailing from North London, she gained early recognition with a series of self-released mixtapes and EPs before breaking through with her critically acclaimed 2015 debut album, A Curious Tale of Trials + Persons. Simz’s music blends elements of hip-hop, soul, jazz, and grime, often exploring themes of identity, personal growth, and societal struggles. Her 2019 album GREY Area earned widespread praise, winning the Mercury Prize for its raw lyricism and bold production. She followed up with Sometimes I Might Be Introvert (2021), a deeply personal and cinematic album that further cemented her status as one of the most compelling voices in UK rap. The project received universal acclaim, winning the Brit Award for Best New Artist and the MOBO Award for Best Female Act. Known for her fiercely independent ethos, Simz has largely released her music through her own label, AGE 101 Music, maintaining creative control over her work. In addition to music, she has pursued acting, appearing in the Netflix series Top Boy. With her innovative artistry and sharp storytelling, Little Simz continues to push boundaries, solidifying her place as a trailblazer in contemporary hip-hop.
