REPORTAGE
a doubt, the sky is her starting
point. In an interview with Rolling
Stone magazine, the singer
says winning the Grammy was”
just the beginning” for her.
“It’s incredible. I get to work
with people that, five years
ago, were on my playlist. You
know, I was jamming with them,
and now I’m working with them.
It’s such a pleasure, and I feel
like this is just the beginning,”
she says.
Speaking to Vogue after her
Grammy win, Tems said, “I’ve
never been in the same place
with so many artists in one
space before, People coming
together to celebrate work and
art.”
Tems added that the
Grammys carried poignant
significance throughout her
childhood. “Back in the day,
the Grammys were an event,”
she says. “So attending the
ceremony was a full-circle
moment.”
Accordingly, “Tems’ Grammy
win last weekend is a spell
of good things to come
for female musicians in the
Nigerian music scene. Since
the 60s, often dubbed the
Golden Era of music in West
Africa, women have been
underserved, undermined,
and underrepresented in the
creative space, particularly in
show business.”
