Afrobeats superstar, Tiwa Savage has said that talent is insufficient to succeed in the music industry.
The 46-year-old singer made the remarks
while outlining the vision behind her initiative, the Tiwa Savage Music
Foundation, which aims to support emerging African creatives.
“Music changed my life but talent alone
isn’t enough especially when access is limited,” Savage said.
Continuing, the 46-year-old entertainer
said, “I want to open people’s eyes to the full scope of what’s possible in
music.”
On April 26, Savage hosted a grand
finale concert for over 100 participants who graduated from her music
foundation in partnership with Berklee College of Music.
The event took place at the Wole Soyinka
Centre for Culture and the Creative Arts with Nigerian entertainer Darey Art
Alade and Kie Kie serving as hosts.
Savage stressed that her ambition
extends beyond nurturing artistes but to develop industry gurus.
“I don’t just want to launch artists; I
want to build leaders, producers, executives and owners who will shape the
future of the music industry,” she said.
“Our alumni will become film composers,
label executives and mentors who reinvest in the next generation. If a young
musician from a small neighbourhood can say the foundation changed their life,
then we’ve achieved something meaningful,” Savage said.
