“Navigating the Music Business Wasn’t Easy” – Tems Speaks on Her Early Career
Nigerian music sensation Temilade Openiyi, widely known as Tems, has opened up about the challenges she faced at the start of her music career.
The Grammy-winning artist, who gained international recognition with her feature on the hit song Essence, revealed that she was quite inexperienced during her early days in the industry.
In an interview with Glamour Magazine Germany, Tems reflected on how her initial approach to the music world was rooted solely in her passion for art.
She admitted that, while her intentions were pure, her understanding of the business side of music was limited.
“Honestly, I was incredibly naive when I first started,” she said.
“I just wanted to create good music and share my art with the world. But I soon realized that navigating the music industry required more than just talent.
It took me time to understand how to manage the business aspects in a way that wouldn’t compromise my well-being.”
Tems’ journey hasn’t been one she walked alone.
She acknowledged the crucial role her management team and her family have played in keeping her centered.
Her mother, who has been a strong influence in her life, and her brother, whom she shares a close bond with, have offered unwavering support.
“My family, especially my mother and brother, are my foundation,” she explained.
“They, along with my management, help me stay grounded through everything.”
Born in Lagos in 1995, Tems grew up with a deep love for music.
Her breakthrough came in 2020 with the release of Damages and her collaboration on Wizkid’s Essence, which propelled her to global fame.
The song earned her a Grammy nomination and solidified her place on the international music scene.
Since then, she has worked with top global artists, including Drake and Future.
Nigerian actress Patience Ozokwor speaks on her popular role as Mama G and opens up on the purpose of the character.
While the character is popular for being wicked or troublesome and has gained a viral following through memes, many people still love the character.
The actress spoke on it and shared, “I felt bold to expose the ills of society. These things happen, and nobody wants to expose them, so I’m exposing them. So I’m extremely proud of myself and Mama G lovers.”
She shared that the purpose of the character was to expose the bad behaviours in society and not to promote them.
