Nigerian singer Simisola Kosoko, widely recognized as Simi, recently opened up about her experiences with imposter syndrome. The artist, who is also a mother, shared that she once felt a profound understanding of herself, but in recent years, she has struggled with a sense of losing her identity.
On her X handle, Simi expressed her thoughts on this journey: “For most of my life, I’ve had the privilege of knowing myself deeply and unwaveringly. But in recent years, I’ve also faced the discomfort of losing myself. Sometimes it was to make space for new aspects of my life, and other times, I just couldn’t find my way. I felt like a stranger to myself, and this version of me was the hardest to face in the mirror.”
Simi revealed that this internal conflict left her feeling like a stranger to herself. However, the process of creating her upcoming album, “Lost And Found,” played a significant role in helping her reconnect with her true self.
“Working on this album has been a crucial part of reclaiming the pieces of myself I feared were lost forever. I believe that self-discovery is an ongoing process, and if you’re willing to look, there’s always more to find. This album is a tribute to the continuous journey of finding and rediscovering oneself,” she wrote.
Simi further explained that the album reflects her efforts to reconnect with her passion for music, melodies, and love stories.
