His production took a positive turn over the past year as he joined forces with rising Melbourne act Billy Davis (for who he plays bass and produces), whose debut album A Family Portrait saw support from the likes of BBC1, Okayplayer, and High Snobiety, while sharing the stage with the likes of GoldLink and Noname. From there, he has gone on to produce for several other artists in the growing Billy Davis camp, Blasko and Jordan Dennis, while also launching his own solo career. Tentendo's production style consists of carefully layered percussion and thick synths saturated in sweet. sticky vocals with thumping bass lines to colour the melodic madness. Lush, RnB neo-soul at its very best.

Tentendo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Starts in the air, for you
Baby you know, I do...
But I'm afraid of fallin’ (I’m afraid of fallin’)
Holding me right, I'll choose
The cold in the darkest room
Bringing the warmth, to you yeah
So tell me when ya fallin’ (tell me when ya fallin’)
Lately I've been wishing for you
Wondering where you are
Promising on empty hearts yeah
Looking for your star
Lately I've been wishing for you
Lonely in the dark
Promising to empty hearts yeah
That I'll find you in my arms
Lying down
tracin’ stars and searching for you because
I drown, every time you touch my waters
I’m just, lying down
tracin’ stars and searching for you because
I drown, every time you touch my waters
I’m just...
Something, new.
Boy you give me something, new.
Girl I’ve been moving through your waves
I’m holding on to things that I could lose
I’m lost inside your outer space
I’m tracing all the stars in search of you
Girl I’ve been moving through your waves
I’m holding on to things that I could lose
I’m lost inside your outer space
And every time I’m seeing something, new
Boy you give me something, new
I be feeling this energy
Pulling you in closer to me
Mesmerising and spell binding
I feel like I am arriving
At something new, a different love
And boy you must be sent from above
Of you- I could never get enough
You say you like flying and I say like hiding
Can we go for a ride?
Where nobody can find us?
Where nobody can find us.
Girl I’ve been moving through your waves
I’m holding on to things that I could lose
I’m lost inside your outer space
I’m tracing all the stars in search of you
Girl I’ve been moving through your waves
I’m holding on to things that I could lose
I’m lost inside your outer space
The lyrics of "Waves" by Tentendo communicate the feeling of being lost within someone's love, a longing to connect and a certain fear of vulnerability. The opening lines set the tone as the singer confesses their fear of falling, but ultimately chooses to embrace the warmth offered by a romantic partner who holds them tight. The chorus reveals the singer's desire to be with someone who feels like something new, a fresh start in love. The song speaks to the universal search for love and meaning in life, and how sometimes this search can take us to dark places and places we would not venture otherwise.
The verses reveal the singer's search for their romantic partner, as they lay under the night sky tracing stars and searching for that "something new" that personifies their love. There is an element of uncertainty and loneliness conveyed in the lyrics with lines like "Promising on empty hearts, looking for your star." However, the chorus reveals their strong desire to be with someone who brings them a renewed sense of purpose and meaning, someone who gives them "something new."
The bridge incorporates a touch of whimsy as the singer proposes a journey with their lover, to go where nobody can find them, to hide away from the world and be with each other in secret bliss.
Overall, "Waves" is a romantic and introspective song that captures the feeling of being lost and found in love, acknowledging the risks and rewards that come with opening up to someone else.

Searching for your light or guidance
Lonely in the dark
Feeling alone and lost
That I'll find you in my arms
Believing that I'll eventually hold you again
Lying down
Relaxing and taking a break
tracin’ stars and searching for you because
Following the stars to find you
I drown, every time you touch my waters

Pulling you in closer to me
Bringing you closer to me
Mesmerising and spell binding
Enchanting and captivating
I feel like I am arriving
I feel like I'm reaching a destination or point in my life
At something new, a different love
This is a new and unique type of love for me
And boy you must be sent from above
You must be heaven-sent
Of you- I could never get enough
I can never have enough of you
You say you like flying and I say like hiding
You like to take risks and I prefer to stay hidden or safe
Can we go for a ride?
Can we go on an adventure together?
Where nobody can find us?
Somewhere where we won't be disturbed or interrupted
Girl I’ve been moving through your waves
I'm still navigating your emotions and energy
