World acclaimed singer Temilade Openiyi a.k.a Tems has received the Grammy Award plaque she won alongside rapper Drake for the song “Wait for You.”
Muyiwa Awoniyi who is Tem’s manager revealed in an instagram post that the artist has received the plaque after winning the Grammy award for the Best Rap Melodic Performance.
Meanwhile Tems has announced her debut Australian tour for September and October. She will be having her first tour of Australia starting Tuesday September 26, before performing at Promiseland Festival featuring Lauryn Hill and Davido in Gold Coast and finishing with another solo show at the Forum in Melbourne on Tuesday, October 3.
Tems has garnered attention in recent years due to popular releases like ‘Try Me’ and ‘Mr Rebel’, and followed them up with 2020 EP For Broken Ears and 2021’s excellent If Orange Was A Place – which carried singles like ‘Crazy Tings’ and a collab with Brent Faiyaz, ‘Found’.
“Orange is a vibe,” Tems told Apple Music about the record in 2021. “It is the feeling of sunset and the sweetness of an orange. And when I think of those songs, I am transported to a different place where everything is warm and sweet.”
“I have learnt to let go and just live life and just do what comes naturally to me,” the singer continued. “It has helped me find a new freedom of expression and a new vibe that isn’t based on past experiences but present moments.”
