Award-winning singer and songwriter Simi has shared a candid glimpse into her personality and the silent battles she faces navigating the music industry as an introvert. In a recent interview, the soulful artist opened up about her struggles with networking, social expectations, and the pressure to constantly engage in spaces that often feel unnatural to her. “Sometimes I feel like I have the wrong personality for the industry I’m passionate about,” she said, expressing how difficult it can be to thrive in an environment that often values extroversion and social presence. Despite her massive success and strong fanbase, Simi revealed that she doesn’t have many friends within the industry and that the few connections she does hold dear are based on genuine relationships, not professional alliances. “The people I’m close to, even if they’re in the industry, are my actual friends not because of the work we do, but because we genuinely connect.” Unlike many of her peers who seem to thrive in high-energy entertainment circles, Simi admits she often feels out of place in such settings. “I’m not great at networking. I love music, and that’s the only reason I’m doing music, because I truly enjoy it. But when I enter a room full of people I don’t know, I’ll most likely just sit in one place quietly.” She’s quick to clarify that her reserved nature is not rooted in pride or arrogance. “It’s not that I’m proud or anything like that. I just don’t know how to engage with people in that kind of setting. It’s something I’ve struggled with for a while.” Her vulnerability has struck a chord with fans and fellow creatives alike, many of whom see themselves in her words. In an industry that often equates visibility with success, Simi’s honesty is a refreshing reminder that authenticity, passion, and talent still matter most.
