The kind of success and the level of momentum certain professionals have achieved in their industries, especially in creative spaces, have shown us what it takes to become one's best version. They have shown the path to others on how with passion and perseverance, one can go ahead in making a name for themselves even in the most competitive workspaces. Tevan did the same with the kind of success he created all by himself. As of today, he’s a self-made independent artist of the UK who, with all his songs, has proved his mettle to the UK's music industry.

He says he feels elated by the success he has attained and the love he keeps getting from respectable peers of the industry as well as the audiences and hence is on "Cloud 9", which is also the title of his second single, the first being "Anyway", both of which were released in 2019. "Anyway" was a hit because it infused a unique fusion of Afro-swing alongside South Asian / Oriental music, branding the new sound as 'Asian-swing'. With Cloud 9, Tevan made yet another stellar track that quickly became the favourite of many listeners. For this, he collaborated with well-renowned producer ATG on the project, who previously worked with the likes of Kelly Rowland, Dave East, Ms Banks, Afro B and Darkoo.
Cloud 9 has a very melodic yet catchy chorus that immediately catches the attention of listeners. It became such a hit that BBC Asian Network immediately playlisted it on the highly-rated Yasser show and many local radio stations throughout the UK continued to support the track. Urban Asian went ahead to even endorse it as "track of their week".
The success of his two singles led him to headline a show in Bulgaria and opened doors to an Eastern European market and territory that previously hadn't been capitalized on by any UK artist. This was where Tevan met Shizo, the in-house producer for the leading Bulgarian Rap Sensation V:RGO. Forging a close working relationship with producer 33, Tevan came up with his third single, "SHOW GiRL", a timely summer anthem with elements of both afro-swing plus pop coupled with an international blend. American actor and singer Rotimi endorsed the track by placing it in his highly anticipated “The Boss Up’ mixtape, which was released in July 2020.
For 2021, the ace singer and songwriter is quite excited as he is working towards releasing his next in collaboration with Daecolm, saying that it will be a party starter. To find out more, follow him on Instagram @tevanofficial.
