It’s funny how things pan out in life. Take Tiwa Savage for example.
The Nigerian queen of pop music at age 27 graduated from Berklee College of Music with the hope of being an international star. Things didn’t go according to plan.
Tiwa Savage came back to Nigeria to pursue her musical ambitions. If she couldn’t conquer the world, she could conquer Nigeria. Call it perfect timing or luck but when Ms Savage landed on the scene the Nigerian music scene started getting the attention of the world.
Today, Tiwa Savage has gone beyond being a local champion. She is a fast rising star in North America who has penned a deal with Roc Nation and headlining the Africa One Music Fest in Brooklyn, New York.
On August 27, 2016, Tiwa Savage hung out with the larger-than-life Hip Hop personality DJ Khaled a.k.a the SnapChat king in Manhattan, New York.
Earlier in the day, she rubbed shoulders with fellow African international stars Jidenna, Lupita Nyong’o and Janelle Monae. Also Tiwa Savage attended the MTV VMAs on Sunday, August 29, 2016, which held in New York.
Hands down Tiwa Savage is the biggest female music celebrity in Nigeria at this moment. As Nigeria’s pop culture continues to move into North America, Tiwa Savage has become one of the leading figures in this movement.
During her interview on Hot 97 in July on-air-personality Ebro described Tiwa Savage as the Beyonce of Africa. That’s the best description for Tiwa Savage right now. She is the queen right now and her international fame has come full circle.
In search of fame Tiwa Savage took part in X-Factor the UK edition but couldn’t make it all the way through. By moving back to Nigeria Tiwa Savage has gotten what she desired many years ago.
