Simi Gives Insight Into How She Balances Motherhood And Music

Simisola Bolatito-Kosoko, better known as Simi, is a Nigerian singer and songwriter who has given a hint about her future album as well as an insight into parenting.

Simi and her husband, Adekunle Gold, welcomed their daughter, Adejare, in 2020, and she has been candid about motherhood and how it has influenced her since then.

In a recent chat with Cool FM mid-day show, the doting mother of one talked about how much of a blessing her daughter is to her and her husband, although it was not an easy transition, she had to prepare herself for it, “I dropped one of my biggest hits while I was pregnant”.

During the interview, the singer also admitted that balancing parenthood and her music career is difficult, but she makes an effort to do so.

She said,

“I think it is all about prioritizing and committing to your priorities. The more important things you have in your life, the less time to dedicate to all these things. What is even important is understanding this is hard before you even go into it so that it doesn’t overwhelm you so much.

I love my family, I love my daughter, I love my husband, and I love music so much so it’s just finding that balance and committing to it.

Because I just saw my future so I was trying to get ahead of the whole thing because I know it is going to be hard like being responsible for another human’s life and you know, it is not something I just want to delegate to someone else while I do other things.
