TuneDn: Teemanay wants you to explore Africa
For Teemanay, travel is a way of exploring something he had never seen before.
“When I travel somewhere new, I know I’m going to experience their culture, their food, their way of life.” he told Detour at the Titans Greenery in New York. “And most importantly, their music!”
Born in Nigeria, Teemanay, also known as Young Icon, rose to fame in 2014 and has since been prominent on the afrobeats scene. Yet, he remains very close to his roots in Africa.
“If you come once, you will not be able to leave,” he said with a laugh, when Detour asked him for travel tips around the continent.
