Tems is leading the charge once again when it comes to women and music in Africa as the singer has now created an initiate to provide support.
Award-winning Nigerian artist Tems has officially launched a groundbreaking platform and initiative dedicated to supporting, connecting, and amplifying the voices of women in music across the African continent.
Announcing the initiative via social media, today, Wednesday, July 2, 2025, Tems described the platform as a space designed to champion female creatives and drive meaningful change within the music industry. “I’m so proud to launch @leadingvibeinit,” she wrote. “A platform to support, connect & amplify women in music across Africa.”
The program is set to begin its first activation in August 2025 in Lagos, Nigeria, and is now open to applicants from across the country. Women involved in any aspect of music, whether artists, producers, engineers, or managers, are encouraged to apply and become part of a growing community focused on collaboration, growth, and empowerment.
The initiative reflects Tems’ long-standing commitment to challenging industry norms and creating space for more African women to thrive in music. Known not only for her chart-topping global success but also for her authenticity and advocacy, Tems is using her platform to make a lasting impact beyond the stage.
Applications for the inaugural Lagos edition are currently open via leadingvibe.com, with the deadline set for July 13, 2025.
