Story & Lesson Highlights with Simy Eurydice

Simy Eurydice shared their story and experiences with us recently and you can find our conversation below.

Hi Simy, thank you so much for taking time out of your busy day to share your story, experiences and insights with our readers. Let’s jump right in with an interesting one: What’s more important to you—intelligence, energy, or integrity?
For me integrity is going to be the most important thing to me, personally and within other people. I believe it to be an undervalued trait, something constantly overlooked. You don’t have to be the smartest person in the room and energy can shift with seasons however, the “right thing” will never change. You can always trust people to be people. Meaning someone’s integrity or also lack thereof tells you everything you need to know. It’s up to you to believe them the first time when they show and tell you who they are.

Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
My name is Simy Eurydice (she/they), but I’m also known as The Pink Prince of Rap. I describe myself as a multifaceted artist, dancer, and performance visionary that blends music, fashion, and storytelling into one powerful experience. With my latest album SUPERHERO, I explore things such as transformation, identity, and rebellion while creating art that feels cinematic, emotional, and unapologetically bold.

What makes my brand special is how it brings sound, movement, and visual art together as one creative language. I don’t just make songs. I build worlds. Each release, from “FAUX” to “VENOM,” represents a chapter in an ongoing story about power, freedom, and self expression. My journey is one of reinvention and resilience, turning performance into protest and vulnerability into strength.

Right now, I am expanding the SUPERHERO era with a full project that includes a companion album, visual storytelling, and music videos that challenge how people see fame, fantasy, and individuality. For me, it is not only about saving the world. It is about finding the courage to save yourself first.

Appreciate your sharing that. Let’s talk about your life, growing up and some of topics and learnings around that. Who were you before the world told you who you had to be?
Before I became the “Simy” I am today, I was born Jordan Sims. A wild, outgoing, little boy that loved playing video games and watching cartoons. He used to have dreams of developing gaming software and loved computers. He would develop more effeminate traits as he grew up that people would use to label him as, “gay” before he even knew what the word meant. Fast forward through his life he grew up being told he needed to be a man and do more masculine things. “Men don’t like pink” “Boys shouldn’t grow out their nails.” “Men don’t dance like that.” However, something magical happened in the midst of all the criticism he had faced. He choose himself every time. He wore pink, he grew out his nails, he took dance classes, and he refused to censor his sexuality for others comfort. It’s because of his bravery that I can now be the confident, genderqueer person of color I am today. Any labels the world try to give me now I can deny with pride because I know truly who I am and I love every single bit of it, flaws and all. Now I decide who I am, I always have, it’s my superpower.

When did you stop hiding your pain and start using it as power?
In High School, specifically my sophomore year I was depressed. It was a constant feeling of feeling like I was being controlled and oppressed even. I felt like I couldn’t be myself and that feeling lead to a suicide attempt through overdosing. I was at my lowest. It wasn’t until the start. of the New Year I was gifted a small notepad from a dear old friend of mine and was simply told to just write in it that I started to find myself again. I ended up calling it my “Black Book” and I would chronicle every little thought I had. I would write poems, songs, things said to me that were inspiring, drawings, song reviews, and even my thoughts on people in my life every single day. Within 6 months of doing that I didn’t need to anymore. The writing got less dark, the entries were less frequent, and I learned the power of my pen. The safety of being able to say whatever I wanted in ways no one could control. Black Book was a part of me that I will always love because of what it got me through. Since that time period the thought of suicide hasn’t even crossed my mind again. I know now how to ground myself if I ever feel like I can’t be myself. That’s truly my only weakness, my fear of not being able to live as authentically me as possible.

I think our readers would appreciate hearing more about your values and what you think matters in life and career, etc. So our next question is along those lines. Is the public version of you the real you?
Yes. I even recently changed my artist name to my full name as I don’t want any aliases, only titles. I am Simy Eurydice and I do all of these wonderful things that I say I can. I take authority over my own name and I find comfort within my own name. It’s something that can’t be taken away from me and no one else on this planet can hope to be me. I want more people to feel that way about themselves as well.

Before we go, we’d love to hear your thoughts on some longer-run, legacy type questions. If you laid down your name, role, and possessions—what would remain?
Me. I would still remain. “What’s in a name? That which we call a rose, By any other name would smell as sweet”. Shoutout Shakespeare, I would still be me. I think often about all the many outlets I show up creatively and even the ones where I don’t. I came to the conclusion that even if I wear many faces, it’s simply because I’m willing to change. For no other reason than the desire to explore the many facets of me. I find myself more in exploring the things that I like and dislike and holding space to gather myself in the spaces that remain. My name, position, and what I have doesn’t change who I am. I do.
