Hailing from Nigeria, singer, songwriter and producer Tems (real name Temilade Openiyi) blends West African alt� and neo-soul. She grew up heavily influenced by a mix of Nigerian and Western music, having spunDestiny's Child, Lil Wayne and Aaliyah on her Walkman when growing up. But at the age of 15, she stopped listening to music all together to find her own sound and hone her craft.
The first introduction to her smooth mix of reggae, soul and R&B was 2018's 'Mr Rebel', which cemented Tems firmly as one to watch. Each single that's followed, from the alt-R&B dance groove of 'Damages' to 'Crazy Tings'' old-school reggae throwback, has shown her genre-ignoring, reinventing approach to music. Her most recent EP 'If Orange Was A Place' glides between softer emotional rawness in 'Found', and up-tempo alt� fun with 'Replay's playful horn section.�
As well as her own releases, she's featured on several high-profile collaborationsthat led her to be listed in Barack Obama's favourite music of 2020.She teamed up with afrobeats superstar WizKid for his sensual track 'Essence', the first Nigerian song ever to chart on the Billboard Hot 100 and earnt her a Grammy nomination. She also joined Drake for 'Fountains', which skips around piano-based afrobeats instrumentation, and Khalid and Disclosure for their electro-R&B hit 'Know Your Worth'.

Tems was absolutely phenomenal live. She is so beautiful and talented and the show had the greatest energy. She even came out to say hi to a few of us at the stage door, she holds herself with so much kindness and grace it was such a beautiful show and experience
Tems performance was awesome and good.She killed the performance at the concert.Best Concert ever.She is an amazing soul.
Tems performance was amazing. The venue was fine, my issue was that nobody received a vip merch package like what was promoted. We asked multiple people working at the event and nobody could give us a clear answer as to where we could get our vip merch bag. For the price we paid I feel like this should have been provided and it wasn’t.
Best concert have been to. Tems baby is magical fr
It’s perfect, the show, the place, the music. I love so much tems
Tems was unreal. Location was unreal. People were unreal. Epic time.
Tems is an amazing soul and her performance reflected that but the merch packages that some of us paid for, “didn’t make it past the border” and we’ve been waiting to hear how we will receive them or if we will.
Tems was so amazing and took time to go in the public
Tems concert was the wickedest! pun intended. It was a clean venue and awesome atmosphere
