She expressed a desire to return to her original sound, which led her to rebrand herself as Telani. “I want to be known as Telani… to take that as my brand name forever,” she said, describing her music as a mix of Afropop, dancehall, and other influences.
Telani, the daughter of renowned Mugiithi musician Mike Rua, also cited her education as a reason for leaving the record label after less than a year.
