Tems’ recent interview has taken social media by storm, captivating fans and online users alike. In the interview, she opened up about her humble beginnings and the journey that led her to where she is today, including her encounter with Wizkid.
She shared that she had initially aimed to perform at a local bar every Friday, but was turned down due to a lack of original music. Undeterred, she decided to record a song, even though she only had three songs at the time. Her big break came in 2019 with the release of “Try Me” and its accompanying music video, which caught the attention of Wizkid, who wanted to collaborate with her on “Essence” that same year.
Tems reflected on her earlier days, saying that she lacked direction and simply went with the flow, only finding her footing with the release of her EP. She expressed the regret that she didn’t have a clearer vision, realizing that it would have better prepared her for her current situation and the spotlight it brings.
