Savage was a backup singer to international artists
There could be lots of opportunities for a growing music icon abroad, but for Nigeria's Queen of Afrobeats, Tiwa Savage, Nigeria is the choicest place to build her already booming musical career.
In a brief interview with Afrobeats and Chill Radio, she revealed why she left the international music scene to come back to Nigeria to continue her music career right here in Nigeria.
According to her, she saw a vacuum not being adequately filled by women even as the Nigerian music industry was on an upward trajectory.
“So many talented female artists in Nigeria. I mean incredibly talented female artists; vocalists, MCs, rappers. It was the major motivation for me to move back.
“I saw the scene growing, from 2Face, D’Banj, P-Square, 9ice, and I realized there weren’t too many female artists and I said to myself I really need to go back.
“For me it is really important, for my success story or legacy not just for me but for others. If I could break the door or break the barrier, it would make it easier for other people who would come after me,” she said.
Tiwa Savage was a backup singer to international artists like George Michael, Mary J. Blige, and others.
