Tems
Tems (Temilade Openiyi) is a Nigerian singer, songwriter, and producer from Lagos who built a two-Grammy career on a contralto voice she once tried to hide. Self-taught on production via YouTube, she went from quitting a digital marketing job in 2018 to becoming the first African female artist to debut at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, the first Nigerian female Grammy winner, and a co-owner of an MLS soccer team — all while redefining what Afro-fusion sounds like on a global stage.
