Sure. Tems does not only have style she has it in large quantities. And now almost everyone across the globe, old or young, rich or poor, big or small, fat or slim wants to identify with her.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, whenever the Grammy Award-winning musician Tems is mentioned, people immediately think of him. Wherever the name is mentioned, it does not sound the death knell, but rather the birth of a star.<\/p>\n<p>Everyone wants a piece of this sexy artiste with a cool, sultry, but sensual voice that can sing the hills to sleep and put men on &#8220;high alert&#8221;: a deep, piercing, but rich and resonant voice that&#8217;s a bit high pitched, like a mix of Lauryn Hill&#8217;s, Asa&#8217;s, and refined Anita Baker&#8217;s.<\/p>\n<p>Everyone loves hearing Tems sing. Everyone enjoys watching her dance, taking those fancy steps and turn-arounds and exuding the kind of confidence that veterans are known for. And yet she is just 28.<\/p>\n<p>Still, she has done duets with Wizkid and Beyonce and collaborated with Future and Drake. And she has an eye for the future. Little wonder she just won the Grammy at 28.<\/p>\n<p>Adele and Barack Obama are her fans and her song has appeared on the former American President\u2019s summer playlist.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/entertainment\/2021\/09\/23\/oh-my-god-rihanna-screams-with-joy-as-she-meets-nigerian-singer-tems-for-the-first-time\/\">Rihanna<\/a> too couldn&#8217;t hide how thrilled she was when she met her at a Savage x Fenty show in Los Angeles last year. She instructed her to stop being so humble. \u201cShe was like, \u2018You need to be that bitch you know you are,\u201d Tems herself told British GQ.<\/p>\n<p>Naturally, she evolved into the person she is now aware she is. Yet many do not know the pain behind the bitch current fame. They do not know the pain behind the gain, the story behind the glory.<\/p>\n<p>They are not aware that this lady who she and her elder brother were simply known as Temi and Tunji in the Ilupeju, Lagos neighbourhood where they were raised by their mother once broke her family\u2019s heart because of music.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was that type of community where everybody knew everyone. We were Temi and Tunji from down the street,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Her romance with music, which started early on in life when she learnt how to play the guitar her father had gifted them at home flowered while singing in her classroom at Dowen College in Lagos. She joined a choir as a teenager and reluctantly studied economics at Monash University South Africa.<\/p>\n<p>When Tems got back to Lagos, she got herself an office job in digital marketing. But the job made her depressed. It gave her hell. \u201cI was like, I can\u2019t live a lie anymore,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Tired of living a lie, and with a nudge from a devotional, she quit her job in 2018 to pursue music full time. Her relatives were stunned. She had broken their hearts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou quit your job to sing?\u201d Tems told British GQ, impersonating them, with raised eyebrows. \u201cIt was like, \u2018You\u2019re a woman. Do you want to sing at the bar?\u2019\u201d she continued.<\/p>\n<p>Tems never sang at the bar. She never lost focus. Six months later, she produced and released her debut single, \u201cMr Rebel\u201d \u2013 a stripped-back DIY production with no visuals.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEventually the song reached someone who got her an interview slot on radio and after a while started to get recognised both in Nigeria and abroad.\u201d And the rest, as they say, is history.<\/p>\n<p>Yet, she started out on a clean slate. \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/entertainment\/2021\/09\/03\/tems-shines-yet-another-african-spotlight-on-drake-with-new-track-fountain-listen\/\">The journey that I\u2019ve been<\/a> on, it\u2019s very new. There are no blueprints I\u2019m following,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThink about it. I\u2019m from Nigeria. I\u2019m from Lagos. There\u2019s nobody that I was like, Oh yes, she did this, so let me also go and do this,\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Still, according to British GQ, success didn\u2019t come overnight. The year before she released \u201cMr Rebel\u201d Tems was living alone and struggling financially.<\/p>\n<p>She pressurized herself to help provide for her family, which was difficult without a stable job. Her leap of faith was yet to pay off.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI couldn\u2019t take care of anybody. There were times when I was not just broke \u2013 I was broke and hopeless. I used to steal food. I used to go to my aunty\u2019s house just so she could give me food to take home,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI just felt like, What is the point of me existing right now? You have to remember those times. Because that person does not exist anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In order to remove that off her mind and forge ahead, Tems had to change her state of mind. \u2018The decision I made was to not wallow in sadness.\u2019 She chose to stop seeing herself as \u201cthis person that can never be anything\u201d and to give music a real shot.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI didn\u2019t have any self-esteem. I didn\u2019t think I was pretty. I didn\u2019t even think of my voice as anything. I just thought, There are so many people that can sing, I\u2019m not a model, I don\u2019t dance, but whatever chance I have, I\u2019ll take it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEven if I end up singing under a bridge somewhere, I\u2019ll be the best under-the-bridge singer ever, she told British GQ.<\/p>\n<p>Six years on, Tems is not the best under the bridge but one of the best in the globe, thanks to her determination, strength of character and the courage of her convictions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>She was given the name Temilade Openiyi at birth, but almost everyone now refers to her simply as Tems, which is just her first name shortened for fashion.
