1 day ago💎 let’s highlight Tiwa Savage’s role in the rise of Afrobeats globally, especially as a female pioneer:
---
🔹 Tiwa Savage’s Journey & Impact
1. Early Background
Born in Lagos, Nigeria (1980), moved to London at 11.
Studied music at Berklee College of Music (Boston, USA).
Worked as a backup singer for global stars like Mary J. Blige, George Michael, and Kelly Clarkson.
This gave her an international music foundation before she fully entered the Nigerian scene.

2. Breaking into Afrobeats (2010s)
Returned to Nigeria around 2010 to pursue her career.
Signed with Mavin Records (Don Jazzy’s label), which was one of the hottest Afrobeats labels at the time.
Early hits like “Kele Kele Love” and “Eminado” established her as a leading female voice in a male-dominated industry.

3. Why Tiwa Savage is Important
Representation: She became the first woman to stand on equal footing with male Afrobeats stars (like Wizkid, Davido).
Fusion Style: Tiwa blends Afrobeats with R&B, soul, and pop — giving the genre a softer, emotional, and feminine edge.
Feminine Voice in Afrobeats: Songs like “All Over” and “Ma Lo” (with Wizkid) show the softer, romantic side of Afrobeats.

4. Global Recognition
In 2018, she became the first woman to win “Best African Act” at the MTV Europe Music Awards.
In 2019, signed with Universal Music Group, giving her music worldwide distribution.
Collaborations with international artists like Coldplay, Sam Smith, and Brandy boosted Afrobeats visibility.

5. Her Legacy in Afrobeats
Tiwa Savage proved that women can lead in Afrobeats, not just support.
She paved the way for younger stars like Ayra Starr, Tems, and Tyla to break into the global market.
Today, she’s considered the “Queen of Afrobeats.” 👑

Fela Kuti gave Afrobeat its soul.
