Mim Suleiman is a Zanzibar-born Tanzanian singer, songwriter, composer, performer, workshop facilitator and campaigner. She now resides in Sheffield, England.[1]
Suleiman moved to the UK from Zanzibar in the 1980s, teaching metallurgy at the University of Birmingham before turning her career to music.[2] As she states, "what was once as a person of no art has become now an artist within fifteen years... it's given me a depth of life I've never had before". Her music encompasses elements from afro-beat, electronic, disco, deep house, and soul. She mainly sings in her native language Swahili, but occasionally uses other languages such as English and Fulani.[3]
Suleiman's song "Mingi" is featured in the video game Grand Theft Auto V soundtrack, on the game's fictional on Soulwax FM radio station.
