Olabode Simon, known by the moniker, Szymon[szai-mən] is a young recording/performing artiste with a mixed upbringing.
He kicked-off his music journey solely as a rapper & started recording in his very early teenage years - as early as 2018, but the release of his first pair of official singles, Tmlm Riddim & Totori didn't come until 2021 as a college/university student. Tmlm Riddim has since garnered over 20,000 streams across all platforms with zero promotion.
In a world full of comparisons, good luck drawing one to him. While his life too features loss, challenges & daily battles, it's choosing to instead rely on music as a happy place that drives Szymon
Szymon performed on one of the most iconic stages of Afrobeats, THE NEW AFRIKA SHRINE in the 2022 edition of Fela Kuti’s FELABRATION - staking a solid claim as one of Afrobeat’s finest prodigies.
For Szymon, only time will tell as he’s definitely one to put a fortune on.
