Teni
Nigerian singer and songwriter Teni is known for uplifting, stylistically eclectic songs that stand apart from her Afro-pop contemporaries. She first rose to prominence in 2018, when a series of songs including "Case" found a streaming audience numbering in the millions. Her debut EP, Billionaire, followed in 2019, ahead of her 2021 full-length debut, WONDALAND. She established her own label for the release of her sophomore album, 2023's TEARS OF THE SUN.
Teniola Apata was born into a family that stressed education and encouraged music from a young age. Her older sister is Afro-house singer Niniola. Teni attended a school in Lagos run by her parents, then studied business administration at American Intercontinental University in Atlanta before devoting her attention to music.
She signed with Magic Fingers Records to release her first song, "Amen," in 2016. Moving to Dr Dolor Entertainment the following year, her second track, "Fargin," found a broader audience, and the year 2018 brought mainstream hits like "Case" and "Uyo Meyo." She presented her first EP, Billionaire, in 2019 and was nominated for a BET Award for Best New International Act and an MTV Europe Music Award for Best African Act. Still with Dr Dolor, Teni teamed up with DJ Neptune on the next year's The Quarantine Playlist EP.
Teni's full-length debut was recorded with over a half-dozen producers in such far-flung capitals as New York City, London, and Abuja, among other international locales. Titled WONDALAND, it arrived on Dr Dolor in March of 2021. One of its hit singles, "For You," was a duet with Davido. Featuring collaborations with rapper ODUMODUBLVCK and Made Kuti (grandson of Fela), her second album, TEARS OF THE SUN, followed in late 2023 on her own Sugar Mummy Records.
