Early life

Koffee was born on February 16, 2000 in Spanish Town, Jamaica. Her birth certificate is registered as Mikayla Victoria Simpson. Her mother’s name is Jo-Anne Williams.

Koffee started singing when she joined her local church choir. By the age of twelve, she had taught herself how to play the guitar. The guitar she practiced on was borrowed from a friend. She also began writing lyrics and was inspired by listening to reggae singer, Protoje.

The song was composed using only her voice and an acoustic guitar. Legend is a tribute to Jamaican sprint superstar Usain Bolt. The song increased her popularity worldwide because Usain Bolt reposted it on his Instagram page, making it even more viral.

That same year, Koffee released her debut single, Burning, inspired by her desire to move forward despite her initial disappointment at not being accepted into high school after graduating from high school.

In December 2018, Koffee released, Raggamuffin, a song that spoke out against gun violence and government indifference to youth. In 2019, she was named one of BBC Radio 1Xtra’s “Hot For 2019” artists. She soon released the Major Lazer-produced single, Toast.

She released her first crossover collaboration single, W, in 2019. The song features Hip Hop artist Gunna. Additionally, in 2019, Tory Lonez remixed Koffee’s song Toast, as part of his international Fargo Project.

In 2020, she released two hit songs, Lockdown and Pressure. She was featured on John Legend’s single Don’t Walk Away.

She released her much-anticipated debut album, Gifted, on March 25, 2022. The album has received positive reviews so far. The singles on Gifted talk about perseverance and overcoming hardships. The 10-track project is a mix of dancehall reggae, reggae fusion, pop, and R&B.
