“Me? I’m just down to earth.”

19-year-old musician from Spanish Town, Jamaica Mikayla “Koffee” Simpson may be small in stature and disarmingly unassuming but her modesty –and height –belies huge amounts of talent. The 5’0, self-described “sing-jay-guitarist” is one of the most exciting, forward-thinking, globally focused teenage talents to emerge in 2018.

“I want to bring positive change to the world because I think the world needs that more than just individual success,” she points out. “My personal success could be ten cars and a big house but that doesn’t influence many people other than myself and the people around me who that benefit from that. I want to bea positive movement and makea positive movement, at the same time. I want to bring vibes andpositive change. I want to impact the world.”
