Tiwa Savage is a Nigerian music artist, performer, songwriter, as well as an actress. She has signed recording and songwriting deals with some music companies including, Marvin Records (2012) and currently with Sony/ATV Music Publishing.


In June 2016, Savage confirmed a management and publishing deal with Roc Nation via her social media page. Her soft voice and ability to incorporate the Nigerian dialect in most of her songs gained her tremendous popularity.


Biography

Tiwatope Savage was born 5 February 1980 in Ikeja, Lagos, Nigeria. She was 11 years old when her parent migrated to the United Kingdom then proceeded to the United States. This granted her the opportunity to grow up and experience a multicultural setting.


Music Career

Her love for music started at a young age. While attending high school, Tiwa Savage was a trombone player in her school’s orchestra band. Although she didn’t pick up music right after graduating with a degree in Business administration from the University of Kent, she never stopped dreaming of becoming a big star someday. Savage started working at The Royal Bank of Scotland. But she engaged in musical activities and lent vocals to notable musicians such as Mary J. Blige, Kelly Clarkson, Andrea Bocelli, etc. She also performed on stage with artists like 50 Cent, The Black Eyed Peas, Eminem, Destiny’s Child and many others.


To bolster her passion for the entertainment industry, Savage enrolled at Berklee College of Music and graduated with a degree in professional music at the age of 27. According to her, the drive and passion of the younger students she attended classes with, motivated her.


Amongst all her media exposure is her participation in the UK edition of The X Factor – this was while she was still attending the aforementioned music school. She advanced to the final 24 but was evicted in the final 12. Reminiscing the experience Savage said, “it was a really painful time.” Yet the “Kele Kele Love” crooner continue working hard towards her goals.


In 2009, Sony/ATV Music Publishing signed Tiwa Savage to a music deal. The deal solidified her to write songs for Babyface, Kat Deluna, Fantasia Barrino, Monica and Mýa. But more than writing for other music producers, Savage thought it’s time to step up her game and storm the limelight. Not anywhere, fatherland was on her mind.


Career Success

Moving back to Nigeria was the biggest decision Savage had to make but in her heart, home is where the greater biggest opportunity resides. Stepping into Nigeria’s musical landscape, was a bit of a challenge. With a male-dominated industry, Savage had a lot of obstacles to deal with. She once shared that people close to her tried to dissuade her from settling in the country. Her first performance on stage was a huge flop. Since her song lacked the usual vernacular most Nigerians are used to, it became another challenge Savage had to deal with.


As one who is prone to corrections and adjustment, Savage made some modifications to her lyrics, accents and inculcated her native tongue. She established her own label imprint, 323 Entertainment, with her then-manager and now husband Tunji “Tee Billz” Balogun.


In 2012, she joined Don Jazzy‘s Mavin Records in 2012 after the label she co-owns teamed up with the executive producer. Her debut single, “Kele Kele Love,” became a massive success upon its released in 2013, topping Nigeria’s music chart. Then followed her first long-awaited album, “Once Upon A Time.”
