Tiwa Savage, the Nigerian singer-songwriter and actress, recently shared her thoughts on not signing upcoming artists, explaining that managing musicians can be an incredibly stressful task. In an interview with Forbes Africa on Thursday, she revealed that the pressure of handling artists, who can often be unpredictable, was something she did not feel equipped for. Tiwa highlighted the challenges of waking up to her artist trending for unexpected or controversial reasons, a situation she found overwhelming.
Instead of signing artists directly, Tiwa plans to focus on helping aspiring musicians in a different way. She is working on establishing a music school to provide budding talents with the necessary skills and opportunities. The goal of this initiative is to guide young artists in honing their craft and preparing them for a future where they can sign with a record label that has the resources to support them.
While Tiwa may not be interested in directly managing artists, her commitment to fostering growth and providing a platform for the next generation of musicians remains strong.
