“I was very naive” – Singer Tems opens up about early days of career

Grammy-winning Nigerian singer, Temilade Openiyi, commonly known as Tems, recently shared insights into the early stages of her career.

The ‘Essence’ singer confessed to being very naive when she first started out, but in a recent interview with Glamour Magazine Germany, she revealed that she has since learned how to navigate the music industry effectively.

“I don’t want to lie. I was very naive at the beginning of my career – I just wanted to make good art. I had to learn how to navigate the music business in a healthy way,” she said.

Tems shared that her management and family have been her backbone.

“I would say that it is both my management and my family that keep me grounded. Especially my family, my mother and my brother,” she added.
