In a recent interview with The Cut, Tems revealed that she did not speak until age three, adding that singing came naturally to her.

She said she grew up feeling self-conscious because “my voice had bass” and did not sound like other girls with “sweet voices”.

The songstress was “bullied to the point of tears” and was a “target of ridicule”.

 

Tems claimed that this led her to feel that she “sounded like a boy, a frog, or that her voice was ugly”.

The 28-year-old singer stated that she would eventually “develop the faith” to sound like herself while studying music with her secondary school teacher.

“I was always in my own little world. I was not very social. When I did make friends, I would try to make them sing my songs,” she said.
