Nigerian Grammy award-winning maestro, Tems has disclosed the peak reason why she kicked off of her musical career.

During her recent interview, Tems disclosed that her lonely life with the complicated reality of having no friends pushed her to make music.

This is because she felt to express her pain but hasn’t been able to find someone she would open up to.

She reflected on her uniqueness and further expressed why she foresaw herself as quite different from other Nigerian artists.

Her words:

“I’m competitive within myself but I’m not competitive with other artistes. Nobody can compete with me.”

“I’m original. I have had children. But also, I’m just all about being true to myself. My music is for people that relate to it. So my music is coming from me. And my music is my outlet.”

“I started making music because I didn’t have friends. I heard something to say and I didn’t have anyone to say it to. So, I would just sing it. I will write it in a song and record it on my phone. I was doing that for years.”
