Simbiatu "Simbi" Abisola Abiola Ajikawo[1][2] (born 23 February 1994),[2] better known by her stage name Little Simz, is a British rapper, singer and actress. She rose to prominence with the independent release of her first three albums; A Curious Tale of Trials + Persons (2015), Stillness in Wonderland (2016) and Grey Area (2019), the last of which was shortlisted for the Mercury Prize and won the awards for Best Album at both the Ivor Novello Awards and the NME Awards.

Her fourth album, Sometimes I Might Be Introvert (2021)[3] received widespread critical acclaim, with several publications deeming it the best album of 2021.[4] It went on to win the 2022 Mercury Prize.[5] It also earned her the 2022 Brit Award for Best New Artist and the Libera Award for Best Hip-Hop/Rap Record.[6] Her fifth album, No Thank You (2022), was released to critical acclaim.

Outside of music, Ajikawo has starred in the Netflix revival drama series Top Boy.

Early life

Ajikawo was born in Islington, London, to Nigerian parents.[7] She was raised on a council estate with two older sisters.[8][9][10] Her mother was also a foster carer during her childhood.[8] She is ethnically Yoruba.[11]

She studied at Highbury Fields School in London and went on to attend St Mary's Youth Club in Upper Street, Islington, which pop stars Leona Lewis and Alexandra Burke also attended.[12] Ajikawo has credited Mary's Youth Club for its influence on her career, describing it as "the place where it all began for me … a second home".[8]

Ajikawo later studied at Westminster Kingsway College and The University of West London[13] where she pursued her music career from there.[14]

Artistry

She describes her music as rap and experimental.[15] Whilst she is closely affiliated with the grime genre, she has also pulled inspiration from other genres including reggae, blues, synth-rock and jazzy R&B.[16]

Ajikawo grew up listening to rap artists Busta Rhymes, Nas and Biggie Smalls, which influenced her to pursue a rap career.[17] Lauryn Hill has often been cited as one of her biggest influences.[18][19] Ajikawo stated "I think The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill was really my education. Lauryn Hill was one of the first artists that really made me feel the power of music."[20] She also drew inspiration jazz musicians Nina Simone, John Coltrane and Billie Holiday for her album Sometimes I Might Be Introvert.

Career

Acting

Ajikawo' acting career began with the role of Vicky in the BBC children's series Spirit Warriors, originally broadcast in 2010,[21] and as Meleka in the E4 television series, Youngers.[22] She was narrator for the television series, Afrofuturism,[23] and played Shelley in Netflix's revival and third series of Top Boy which premiered in autumn 2019.[24] She appeared as herself in the Sony/Marvel film Venom: Let There Be Carnage, singing her song "Venom" in a nightclub rave, which Venom goes to after his split from Eddie Brock.[25]

She also has received praise from Kendrick Lamar.[30] She released her debut studio album, A Curious Tale of Trials + Persons on 18 September 2015.

On 16 December 2016 she released her second studio album Stillness in Wonderland.[31] It was inspired by Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and supported by a comic book, art exhibition and festival.[32] In 2017, she performed as the opening act for Gorillaz during their Humanz Tour, and was the vocalist for the song "Garage Palace", featured on the Super Deluxe edition of their album Humanz.

Ajikawo releases her music on her own Age 101 Music record label with an exclusive distribution licensing arrangement with AWAL Recordings.[8] On 6 September 2018, Ajikawo and her label AGE 101 signed a worldwide deal with AWAL Recordings,[33] after AWAL had distributed her debut album "A Curious Tale of Trials + Persons" in 2015. This deal was renewed on 18 June 2020.[34]

Her 2019 studio album Grey Area was released to critical success and was nominated for the Mercury Prize,[35] and IMPALA's European Independent Album of the Year Award (2019).[36]

On 3 September 2021, she released her fourth studio album, Sometimes I Might Be Introvert debuting at number 4 on the UK album charts and winning BBC 6's Album of the Year.

On 6 December 2022, Ajikawo announced her upcoming fifth studio album, No Thank You,[37] which was released on 12 December.[38]

Ajikawo performed her song "Heart On Fire" with Joan Armatrading during the 76th British Academy Film Awards ceremony, held on 19 February 2023.[39]

Personal life

Ajikawo lives in London.[40] She is a childhood friend of actor Fady Elsayed and actress Letitia Wright.[8] Ajikawo and Wright have remained good friends and Ajikawo photographed Wright for the artwork for her single, "Selfish" in 2019.[8][41] Whilst Ajikawo believes in God, she does not currently follow any religion.[42]

In 2018 her friend, model Harry Uzoka, was murdered, inspiring her to write her song "Wounds".[43]
