Dave and Tems are contemporary artists associated with distinct but intersecting strands of modern British and Nigerian-influenced music. Dave (born David Orobosa Omoregie) is a British rapper, singer and songwriter from London, known for his introspective, lyrically dense hip hop and grime-influenced tracks that emerged in the late 2010s; his work often features narrative storytelling, social commentary and a precise, measured delivery. Tems (born Temilade Openiyi) is a Nigerian singer, songwriter and producer whose music blends alternative R&B, soul and Afrobeat elements; active from the mid-2010s, she is noted for her husky, emotive vocals, minimalist production and collaborations across Afrobeats and global pop. Both artists have contributed to a wider international visibility for contemporary UK rap and Nigerian R&B/Afropop.
