After breaking into the music industry in Britain and the US, pop singer Tiwa Savage became a star in her native Nigeria. She’s been dubbed the “Queen of Afrobeats.”
• Born in Lagos, Savage moved to the UK for school when she was 11. She was a teenager when she began singing backup onstage for acts including George Michael, Sting, and Mary J. Blige.
• After competing in the third season of the The X Factor in the UK, Savage moved to Boston to attend the prestigious Berklee College of Music. She received a diploma in professional music in 2006.
• Savage signed a publishing deal with Sony in 2009 and was soon writing songs for artists including Babyface, Kat Deluna, and Fantasia.
• Inspired by the growth of Afrobeats music, she soon moved back to Nigeria, where she co-hosted Nigerian Idol in 2011 and released her debut LP, Once Upon a Time, in 2013 on the Lagos label Mavin Records.
