From the heart of Ekiti State comes TEPPY, an artist whose journey is a testament to the power of self-belief and raw passion.
A lifelong love for music, nurtured from childhood, has fueled his path. “I love listening to the living legend SHINA PETERS as we share the same first name,” he says, an early connection that laid the groundwork for his ambitions. As he grew, he watched Wizkid, vowing to create his own unique sound and claim his space in the industry.
TEPPY’s music is a direct result of the artists who inspired him to believe in his own potential. He credits Shina Peters, Wizkid, and Bella Shmurda as the music acts that made him realize, “yea I can do something.” These influences are woven into the fabric of his sound, a blend of traditional legends and modern superstars that gives his music its unique flavor.
Despite his talent, the journey has been fraught with challenges. TEPPY speaks candidly about the promises of support that often fall through. “I’ve gotten some text messages and calls even comments from Buh artists and influencer promising to help but…most of them are just liers,” he shares. This experience has taught him a hard truth about the industry. He also faces the constant struggle of getting on stage, often having to beg for a chance to perform. Yet, through it all, his faith remains his anchor: “God is enough.”
When it comes to performing, TEPPY is a student of the craft. He researches stage performances on YouTube, practices what he learns, and feels a sense of progress.
As a vocalist, he can command a stage without a beat, relying on the power of his emotions to connect with the audience. This raw, unfiltered approach is his secret weapon. “I’d do it with emotion so people tend to fuck with me lol,” he says, a genuine expression of the deep bond he forges with his listeners.
His happiest moments come from the support of his community. He feels immense joy when he releases new music and sees the magic created by his friends and supporters. “They are always there for me,” he says, a gratitude that makes every new project a special celebration. For TEPPY, plans are just intentions, and the true master is a higher power. “I’d keep doing my thing and I believe one day God will say YES!” he states, a powerful declaration of his faith and persistence.
TEPPY has just released a five-track EP titled “Jàrà.” He keeps the details under wraps, urging listeners to “check it out” for themselves.
Looking ahead, he dreams of collaborating with artists like TML and SAMAD, but his biggest goal is to get a verse from his favorite artist, FOLA. His final advice is a mantra for his life: “Do your thing with the 100% energy, people are watching.”
