Teni, known for blending Afrobeats, pop, and R&B, gained mainstream attention in 2017 with ‘Fargin’ and has since built an impressive catalog with popular tracks like ‘Wait’, ‘Askamaya’, ‘Billionaire’, and ‘For You’. Her recent release, ‘No Days Off’, anticipates a new album set for release this fall.
