Tems, a Grammy-winning singer, has disclosed why she left her position as a digital marketer in January 2018 to focus on her musical career. She claimed that she was motivated by a sense of spiritual guidance.
In an interview with Billboard, Tems expressed her belief that music was her true calling and that she felt constrained in her career.
She said, “I quit my digital marketing job because] it got to a point where I couldn’t take anymore. It was really dawning one me like, it’s now or never. I was just putting it off until I developed faith that God will see me through wherever I go.
“I quit my job in January 2018, I released ‘Mr Rabel’ six or seven months after I quit my job. Spiritually, I was aware that digital marketing wasn’t my path, I need to leave this place right now. It felt really like life or death. It was like this can make or break your destiny, and you need to make a decision right now. I chose to quit and it worked out.”
Tems gained prominence after being featured on Wizkid’s 2020 global hit, “Essence,” which peaked at No. 9 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
