Tems is the dynamic songstress + producer that is bringing a new energy to the Nigerian music scene. Tems’ 2019 single “Try Me” propelled her into conversations around the world. Tems remained prolific in 2020, releasing “These Days,” a moody reflection of the times as well as wide-ranging features; she has appeared on the remix of Khalid & Disclosure’s track “Know Your Worth,” duetted with Odunsi (The Engine), and collaborated with WizKid on his standout track “Essence.” Looking to the future, Tems continues to position herself as one of Nigeria’s most impactful rising talents.
