From not having enough money to commute within <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Lagos\">Lagos Nigeria<\/a> to becoming a <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Telz_(producer)\">Grammy-winning artist<\/a>, his journey is a testament to the power of passion and perseverance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Winning a Grammy award is not just a remarkable achievement but also a testament to an individual&#8217;s contribution to the music industry. This achievement is not only a personal accomplishment for Telz, but it also raises the bar for other producers in the industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In his recent interview with Viz &amp; Banks Podcast, Telz who began his recording career in 2011 opened up about his early struggles as a music producer. He was homeless at one point in his career, yet he never gave up on his dream of becoming a top music producer. His struggles have paid off, and he now stands out as one of the industry&#8217;s best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Telz his story to the Grammys | Part 1\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/aZ_lp6XpSFQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Winning a Grammy award means that Telz&#8217;s work has been recognized on a global scale. Despite his newfound success, he doesn&#8217;t forget the people who were with him in the early days of his career and helped him along the way. He acknowledges Nigerian musician Pretty Boy DO as the first artist who helped him grow in the industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Telz&#8217;s journey from not being able to afford a <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Auto_rickshaw\">Keke Napep<\/a> (Auto rickshaw, very cheap means of transportation) to winning a Grammy award serves as a reminder that success does not come overnight, and even the most successful people go through struggles and hurdles before making it big. His story is a source of inspiration for young and aspiring music producers who may be going through similar situations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Winning a Grammy award means more than just a prestigious accolade for Telz; it is a testament to his journey, his talent, and his willingness to persevere in the face of adversity. As he continues to make strides in the music industry, his fans can only imagine the great things he has in store.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Alli Odunayo popularly known as Telz&#8217;s journey towards becoming a renowned music producer has been quite the rollercoaster ride.
