Grammy-winning singer Tems has revealed why she quit her work as a digital marketer in January 2018 to pursue a music career.
She claimed that she was motivated by a feeling of divine purpose.
Tems told Billboard in an interview that she felt restricted by her profession and that music was her true calling.
After six months, she launched her first track, “Mr Rebel,” which gained popularity.
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.”
