Tems is a Nigerian singer, songwriter, and record producer who has released the EPs titled For Broken Ears (September 2020) and If Orange Was a Place (September 2021). She also published a few non-album singles before releasing these EPs. She first came into the spotlight in October 2020 when she was featured on fellow Nigerian singer Wizkid‘s single titled Essence. After the release of a remixed version, with an additional feature from Justin Bieber, the song became her first career entry on the Billboard Hot 100 (the music industry standard record chart in the United States for songs, published weekly by Billboard magazine), at number 9. In 2022, her vocals from a song titled Higher were sampled by American rapper, singer, and songwriter Future on his single titled Wait for U. This meant that she was credited as a featured artist on the song which went on to debut atop the Billboard Hot 100. This made Tems the 1st African artist to debut at number 1 and just the 2nd Nigerian artist to top this chart.
