Real name Simone Cohen from South London in the United Kingdom, Afrolicious Mumma is a perfect example of how she is able to fuse music and spirituality.

“I was born and raised in a community rich with sound system culture, reggae, soul, and house music. Music was not separate from life, it was life. My father was a musician, and my mother a music connoisseur I grew up surrounded by music, revolution, and the energy of creation. I witnessed firsthand how music could bring people together, heal pain, and create identity.

“My upbringing included both beauty and challenges, and those experiences shaped my understanding of emotional healing and resilience. Over time, music became both my refuge and my voice. I later expanded into sound healing, spoken word, and broadcasting, creating spaces where people could feel seen, heard, and restored. Today, AfroLicious Mumma is the embodiment of that journey from lived experience to purposeful expression,” she said.

AfroLicious Mumma owns the emerging label called A Musical Ascension records where she recently released a single titled Make Love To My Mind.

My purpose is to remind people that healing, joy, and freedom can be accessed through music,” she said.

She said the Deejaying skills were inspired by growing up in a system of culture.

“My inspiration came from growing up around sound system culture and watching DJs control energy, emotion and atmosphere. I saw DJs not just as entertainers but as energy facilitators. I was also deeply inspired by African rhythms, house music pioneers, and the spiritual connection within sound.

“House music, especially House, spoke to something ancestral within me. It wasn’t just something I listened to, it was something I felt. Becoming a DJ was a natural extension of my healing work, allowing me to guide emotional journeys through frequency and rhythm,” she said.

She further said: “Balance comes from purpose and alignment. Everything I do is connected through service, music, and community. My radio shows allows me to share music globally, travelling allows me to connect with different cultures and sounds, and service keeps me grounded and connected to community.

“I prioritise intentional scheduling, self-care, and spiritual grounding practices such as meditation and sound healing. I see each role not as separate responsibilities, but as different expressions of the same mission. healing immersed in sound.”

I am also expanding my sound healing platform, Am Ascension, developing immersive wellness experiences, and continuing my radio broadcasting. You can expect collaborations with global producers, vocalists, and multidisciplinary artists who share the vision of healing through sound.

Speaking about being a resident Dj in Ibiza in Spain, she said: “The Ibiza opportunity came through alignment, preparation, and visibility. Through consistent work as a radio presenter, and creative, I built authentic connections within the global music community. My sound, identity, and message resonated with promoters and venues who recognised the uniqueness of what I bring.

“I carried my USBs With me to Ibiza from my Gig in Ireland were I performed and DJ For his European debut. I met the incredible classically trained musician noted to have played with the Jazz greats DJ Sujan Rosso who played the most spiritual ancestral Afro House with ancient healing instruments that moved me to tears. I spoke to him about my dream DJ on the island and he said play me a song that you feel will move me.”
