In related news, Temilade Openiyi, the Grammy-winning Nigerian artist known as Tems, recently opened up about the obstacles she encountered early in her music career.
During an interview with CNN, Tems revealed the struggle to be taken seriously and the lack of support she experienced for a significant period.
The 30-year-old singer-songwriter highlighted that staying true to herself has always been her guiding principle.
She stated, “Being authentic is everything to me. It’s the one thing I refuse to compromise because it defines who I am.”
“It was incredibly challenging to gain recognition not only as a producer but also as a vocalist. For a long time, I felt unseen, unsupported, and unsafe.”
Discussing her project, The Leading Vibe, Tems explained that it aims to provide the opportunities she once lacked, focusing on empowering women behind the scenes in the music industry.
She elaborated, “There are countless talented women capable of being producers, managers, and sound engineers, yet they remain invisible.”
“My goal is to highlight their talents and create a platform that reshapes how women are perceived in music.”
“We’re expanding beyond Nigeria, with plans to extend to Kenya next. Women everywhere deserve to be recognized. All they need is a chance, and I truly believe this will transform the music industry.”
