There are artists who make music to be heard, and there are artists who make music to be felt.
TMA sits firmly in the second category.
He is a rising Nigerian Afrobeats voice from Delta State, Nigeria—an alternative-leaning storyteller whose gift isn’t just rhythm, melody, or a catchy hook. His true signature is something deeper: the ability to translate emotion into language that feels aspirational, graceful, and healing, while still moving with the kind of bounce that belongs outside—on speakers, in cars, in dance circles, and in the moments people celebrate life the hardest.
That duality is rare. It’s easy to write pain. It’s harder to write pain in a way that leaves people better than you found them.
TMA’s music doesn’t just talk about change and hope. It sounds like change and hope. His records create room in the chest. They loosen up the mind. They give people permission to breathe again. And in a time where so many listeners are carrying silent pressure—pressure to be validated, pressure to be seen, pressure to perform strength—TMA’s art quietly reminds them that freedom is not a luxury. It’s a necessity.
That’s why his music reaches the heart.
Behind the initials is the meaning: TESHMANDA — TMA.
And the energy behind the name matches the music—distinct, memorable, rooted, and purpose-driven. TMA moves like an artist who understands identity as more than branding. For him, it’s a compass.
He’s a solo artist, but his sound is not “one-dimensional.” It carries community in it. It carries the listener in it. It carries the feeling of a larger story being told through one voice.
Delta State doesn’t need an introduction in Nigerian culture. It is a place of richness—of rhythm, of language, of movement, of spirit. And you can feel that kind of origin in TMA’s musical DNA, even when the production flips modern and forward.
Because roots are not always about “traditional sounds.” Sometimes roots show up as emotional posture—the way an artist frames joy, the way they honor love, the way they keep hope alive even when the road feels unclear.
TMA has openly described a dark moment in his journey as having to wait and bank on hope, not knowing where or what to do next.
That sentence alone tells you a lot.
It tells you he’s lived the gap between vision and reality—the space where you believe in your future, but you can’t yet prove it to the world. That’s the hardest space for any creative to endure. And yet, it’s also where the most honest music tends to come from.
Because when you’ve survived uncertainty, you stop making music for trends. You start making music for purpose.
When asked where his inspiration originates from, TMA answered plainly: Divinely.
That single word explains the “why” behind the “what.”
His relationship with creativity isn’t casual. It’s spiritual. It’s internal. It’s personal. And that’s consistent with the mission he’s shared from the beginning: he makes music from passion, and he makes it to heal people.
Not to impress people.
Not to chase popularity.
Not to perform a persona.
To heal people.
That intent changes everything about the way music lands. Because listeners can tell when an artist is using them, and they can tell when an artist is serving them. TMA’s records are built to serve—built to be a place where people can unload what they’ve been holding, and then walk away lighter.
He’s described the impact music has had on his own life as: “A lot—raised me from my downcast states.”
That means he isn’t speaking about healing as a marketing theme.
He’s speaking from experience.
TMA’s genre selection—Alternative—matters. Not because he’s trying to be “different for attention,” but because it suggests a certain creative freedom.
Alternative Afrobeats can be emotional without being heavy.
It can be danceable without being empty.
It can be romantic without being basic.
It can be spiritual without being preachy.
That lane is where TMA thrives.
His music carries a unified message: feel fully, heal honestly, and move forward anyway.
Even when he’s singing about love, he’s still speaking to transformation—how love lifts people, how love stabilizes people, how love becomes a choice that helps you evolve. Even when the drums are moving, the message is doing something deeper.
That’s why his audience doesn’t just “like songs.” They connect to intention.
TMA’s most popular record, by his own account, is “YES I DO.” And he’s clear about why it connected: it’s a love song.
But not just any love song—he describes it as a love song suitable for weddings.
That detail matters because wedding music has a specific assignment: it has to be timeless. It has to hold weight. It has to sound like commitment, not just attraction. It has to speak to people who are choosing a forever.
So when an artist writes a record that listeners naturally place into a wedding context, it means the record carries sincerity—something people trust with their biggest moment.
That’s the kind of songwriting that lasts.
That’s the kind of songwriting that becomes “evergreen,” which is exactly the legacy TMA says he wants:
“The one that will stand the test of time as all my songs are evergreen.”
That’s not a casual statement. That’s a long-game mindset.
If you want to understand the honesty of TMA’s journey, listen to the fears he’s willing to name:
Those aren’t “industry fears.” Those are human fears. And they’re especially real for artists whose music comes from a sincere place, because the more authentic your work is, the more vulnerable success can feel.
Popularity can distort reality.
Fame can attract noise.
Validation can become a trap.
But the fact that TMA can name those fears directly suggests something important: he’s self-aware. He’s not naïve about what comes with the spotlight. He’s building his career with both ambition and caution—which is exactly what artists need today to remain grounded while scaling.
And the irony is: when you name fear, you weaken it.
That’s why TMA’s music helps listeners do the same thing—pull buried feelings to the surface, so they no longer control you silently.
TMA records through TBONEVIBES RECORDS—a detail that points to structure. Because artistry is one part of the equation. Output is another.
The modern era rewards consistent creators who can translate inspiration into deliverables. And TMA’s creative process is built around being inspired frequently, stepping into a writing zone when the spark hits, and staying productive enough to turn emotion into catalog.
He’s also described a central quality people admire about him as his soulful songs.
That’s not accidental.
Soul is not a genre in this context—it’s an intention. It’s the emotional frequency. It’s what makes a record feel like it’s talking back.
And when he says, “I feel what people feel,” he’s describing empathy as a songwriting tool.
That empathy is why his fans don’t just dance.
They release.
They remember.
They dream again.
Right now, TMA’s music is in heavy rotation five times a day on POWER 102.8 LOS ANGELES.
That level of consistent rotation matters because it builds familiarity at scale. It creates repetition, and repetition creates relationship. When a listener hears the same artist multiple times daily, the artist stops feeling “new.” They start feeling necessary.
And TMA’s relationship with the station goes deeper than being featured.
He is also a music curator for POWER 102.8 Los Angeles—meaning he isn’t only receiving opportunity, he’s contributing to the culture of the platform. That role positions him as a tastemaker, someone trusted to help shape what the audience experiences.
The station is described as averaging 10,000+ verified monthly listeners, and its accessibility is global—available internationally through multiple platforms:
When people say “Afrobeats is global,” this is what it looks like: a Delta State artist with an alternative edge, landing in Los Angeles rotation, traveling through international radio directories, and reaching listeners in different time zones who are united by one thing—emotion in motion.
Every serious artist eventually reaches a turning point where talent is no longer the main question.
The question becomes: How do you scale?
How do you turn listeners into a community?
How do you turn community into consistent revenue?
How do you build a footprint that lasts beyond one record?
TMA recently joined forces with RADIOPUSHERSto expand his digital footprint, expand his monetization footprint globally, and most importantly, grow his fan base using organic direct-to-fan strategies.
That last phrase is the key.
Because direct-to-fan is the future. It’s the system that removes dependency—dependency on algorithms, dependency on one platform, dependency on random virality. Direct-to-fan is what allows artists to build stable careers in the middle of an unstable attention economy.
RADIOPUSHERS positions itself as the number one digital branding agency in North America for emerging artists focused on monetizing within 12 to 24 months, built on the foundation of at least 1,000 superfans who will actually support, purchase, share, and evangelize.
That matters because “fans” are easy to count.
Superfans are the ones who change your life.
Superfans buy tickets.
Superfans buy merch.
Superfans stream intentionally.
Superfans show up consistently.
Superfans fund legacy.
And for an artist like TMA—whose music is already rooted in healing, hope, and emotional clarity—superfan building isn’t a gimmick. It’s a natural outcome of meaningful art, guided by a serious strategy.

When TMA describes what his vision looks like, he says it plainly:
Touching lives—both old and young—positively.
That’s the kind of vision that scales. Not because it’s vague, but because it’s universal. Everyone wants relief. Everyone wants hope. Everyone wants love that feels clean. Everyone wants music that doesn’t just distract them from life, but strengthens them for life.
TMA’s catalog is being built to do exactly that.
He has invested 70 million naira into his career—another signal that this isn’t a hobby. This is commitment. This is intention. This is someone placing real weight behind the dream, not just speaking it.
And the best moment of his career so far, in his own words?
Getting to link up with RADIOPUSHERS.
That tells you he understands the business side of legacy. Great music is the seed. The right infrastructure is the soil. The right system is what makes the seed grow into something that feeds people long-term.
TMA’s music is for the listener who has been holding too much in.
The listener who has been afraid of their own ambition.
The listener who wants to love without fear.
The listener who wants to dance again, not as escapism, but as release.
His artistry proves something important: you can be emotionally deep without losing replay value. You can be spiritual without losing rhythm. You can be intentional without sounding preachy. You can make music that people move to, while also making music that moves people.
From Delta State, Nigeria to Los Angeles radio rotation, from divine inspiration to alternative Afrobeats execution, from soulful songwriting to superfan strategy—TMA is building the kind of career that is designed to last, because it’s built on a unified message:
Feel it. Heal it. Move forward.
