She made the revelation during an exclusive interview with Naija News at the launch of her music foundation, a project designed to support young African creatives navigating the complexities of the music industry.

“I attended Berklee College of Music on a scholarship. Someone chose to invest in me when I couldn’t fully invest in myself, and that decision completely changed the trajectory of my life,” Tiwa Savage shared.

She emphasized that the experience taught her far more than music alone—it gave her insight into the business side of the industry and how to turn talent into a sustainable career. “I’ve carried that knowledge with me through everything,” she added.

The singer noted that the foundation comes at a mature stage in her career. “Now I have the platform, the connections, and the credibility to build something real—a structured and lasting initiative. That combination doesn’t happen early in your career. It comes after you’ve done the work, built trust, and earned the right to put your name on something meaningful. That’s where I am now, which is why this is the right time,” she explained.

Reflecting on her journey, Tiwa Savage said the foundation also addresses aspects of her story that are often overlooked. “People see the stages, collaborations, covers, and awards and assume the path was straightforward. It wasn’t. I was once a student, someone who needed a scholarship to access an education that changed my life. That support was pivotal. I want young African creatives with talent but limited access to opportunities to know that there’s a structured path, and the right support at the right time can be life-changing.”

She also shared lessons learned from her challenges. “A career in this industry—or any career—requires more than talent. You need knowledge: understanding your rights, your contracts, and your worth. I want emerging creatives to have these tools from the start, not discover them the hard way,” she said.

When asked whether the foundation indicated a shift away from music, Tiwa Savage was clear: “The foundation exists because of my music career, not apart from it. Every stage I’ve performed on, every record I’ve released, has led me to a place where I can do something like this with credibility. If anything, it strengthens my commitment to music.

“Every time I perform or release new work, I’m representing something bigger: a foundation, a generation of young African creatives, showing them what’s possible and inspiring them to believe in their own futures.”
