Tiwa Savage
Award-winning Nigerian singer/songwriter, Tiwa Savage has opened up on her plans to build an empire that will cement her status amongst other self-made women worldwide.
While speaking in an interview with Forbes, the 45-year-old revealed that this has been a dream she has had since she was a teenager.
Recounting her teenage days during school time, Tiwa said;
“When I was in school, there were basic subjects like Maths, English, and there were also electives like sports, drama, music – I chose drama and just even from earlier on, I knew that I had a gift for acting. Even when I started my music career, I knew, at some point, I was going to go back into that field,” she recalls to FORBES AFRICA via a Zoom call.
“Growing up in Nigeria, then moving to the United Kingdom and studying jazz in America, I absorbed different musical influences,” she explains.
“I can do a jazz record, a garage song, or an Afrobeats track, and it all feels authentic. I have lived these experiences.”
“I want to go into my mogul era”, she said with conviction.
According to Tiwa Savage, she has a lot of plans, which include building a school or scholarship program that teaches music to upcoming artists.
