Boom Convo questioned Simi and said:
“Being a mother is one of the most difficult jobs in the world. Therefore, being a woman, a mother
Simi – I feel like being a mom is probably the hardest and best thing I’ve ever done. Especially mixing with other things in my life especially my music. It’s not easy to be in this music industry. You have to be consistent, you have to be on your game.

Because there are so many good people. It’s not like you’re the only person in the industry. So finding that balance between motherhood and my passion for music is a very refined art and it’s something that was very important to me. I think what helps is just understanding priorities and like I say, committing to those priorities. Because there are some things that you’re not going to be able to do sometimes and there are some thing you’re not going to be able to not do. So if two important things clash, you have to understand what’s your priority? And making your peace with those decisions. And I think understanding those things just make me understand where to focus my energy and what not to focus my energy on.
