“My wife Simi mixed and mastered all the songs in my first album, ‘Gold’ 8 years ago. She was just one of my girlfriends by then. And for this alone, I can never cheat on her.” – Adekunle Gold
“My wife Simi is the most amazing woman I know aside from my mother. I remember 8 years ago when she was just my girlfriend and I was still broke. She would pay my rent, sort my bills, and even give me pocket allowance. I was just a poor graphic designer who rarely got deals, but she made sure I didn’t lack anything. I had always loved music, but I didn’t have the finances to fund my career, so I was stuck as a graphic designer.
Things changed for me the day Simi came to visit. Just as she reached the doorstep, she heard me energetically singing and dancing in my room. She came in and asked me why I didn’t consider taking my music talent seriously, and I told her that I didn’t have money. She laughed and said, ‘You should’ve told me. I’m not just a singer, but I’m also a producer, and I would be glad to be your producer.’ Upon hearing this, tears of joy ran down my cheeks as I couldn’t contain the joy in me.
We then wrote the songs on my first album, ‘Gold,’ and she took me to her studio where she recorded, mixed, and mastered every single song on that album. She was the one who even paid promoters, and all of a sudden, I just blew up. Ever since then, she has always been there for me, and she still helps me to write and produce my songs to this day. God bless this virtuous woman; she’s every man’s dream, and I’m proud to be her husband.” – Adekunle Gold
