‘I am about to enter my mogul era’, says singer Tiwa Savage

Renowned Nigerian singer Tiwa Savage has shared her ambition to establish an empire that will solidify her legacy among the world’s most successful self-made women.  

In a recent interview with Forbes, the 45-year-old artist disclosed that this vision has been a lifelong dream, dating back to her teenage years.

Recounting her teenage days during school time, Tiwa said;

“When I was in school, there were basic subjects like math, 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.
