I’m amazed by how far I’ve come in a short while – Teni

Nigerian Singer Teni Apata has said she is amazed by her achievement in the music industry within a short while.

Teni D’Entertainer in an Interview with Punch however assured her fans that she still have a lot of good music in stock, saying she has barely started.

She said,

“To be honest with you, I am amazed by how far I have come in a short while but I can also assure you that you have not seen anything yet. I still have a lot in stock. As a matter of fact, I have barely started.

“I am usually overjoyed when I see people singing my songs word for word with so much passion. I love to make people happy and I have been able to do that with my music. I have very big dreams as far as my career is concerned and I can only tell you to keep your fingers crossed.”

Contrary to what many may think, Teni said her eldest sister, Niniola, is one of her biggest inspirations.

“I have a very wide taste in music; so, I listen to all sorts and that influences me in different ways. However, in the industry here in Nigeria, Niniola and Davido are among my biggest influences. Davido is a wonderful person and I recall the first time I met him was in Los Angeles, US. He advised me to stay focused on my music career and I would succeed. I am happy that has come to pass.

“As for Nini, she practically taught me how to sing and it is something I will always appreciate. My late father also loved music and he usually played songs a lot in the house. He really loved all his children and he did a lot to build our confidence and self-esteem. Many times, I wish he were here to see what we have made of our lives.”
