Born in Zimbabwe where he played djembe drums and marimba, S1MBA moved to the U.K. at the age of nine and has an incredible story to tell. S1MBA’s music embraces his heritage and musical upbringing: you can tell that he’s of African descent, but also that he grew up immersed in the U.K.’s music culture, citing trap, hip-hop and grime as influences. S1MBA began to expand his sound by collaborating with co-producers in 2020, beginning with his biggest track to date, “Rover.”
