Koffee, pseudonym of Mikayla Simpson (b. 16 February 2000), is an up-coming reggae and raggamuffin artist from Spanish Town, Jamaica.

Her first interest to music has born from two principal sources of the church choir of her town, in which she sang before learning how to play the guitar, and the notorious singer Protoje, whose songs made Koffee try to write her own lyrics. She became even more convinced of pursuing a career as an artist after singing at the talent show of Ardenne High School (of which she’s a graduate), an experience that encouraged her to perform live more frequently as well.

She first became widely popular when, in 2017, her ode to the Olympic champion and former sprinter Usain Bolt, named “Legend”, posted on Instagram, was shared by the athlete himself, eventually blowing up on the social platform.
