‘How music made me grow,’ Tems opens up

Nigerian singer, Temilade Openiyi, popularly known as Tems, has opened up on the advantages of being an artist, revealing that her career has taught her how to be vulnerable.

The two-time Grammy-award winning artist, while speaking in an interview with Dose of Society, explained that she was previously hyper-independent. Tems also disclosed that being a musician helped her learn how to embrace love without feeling odd.

“Being an artist has changed my life. There are a lot of people that know me. It made me grow, I had to shed a lot of habits that were holding me back—one of those things was my hyper-independency and the thing I do where I push people away. I have now learned to embrace love and just be open, and be free to give love and be vulnerable without feeling odd,” she stated.
