Nigerian singer Tiwa Savage has unveiled the Tiwa Savage Music Foundation, a new initiative aimed at empowering emerging musicians across Africa. The foundation, announced on Instagram on Wednesday, promises to provide young creatives with “access, mentorship, and world-class music education.”
“After years of building globally… It’s time to build at home. Introducing the Tiwa Savage Music Foundation,” Tiwa Savage wrote. “A new initiative dedicated to empowering emerging African creatives through access, mentorship, and world-class music education. Stay tuned. BIG ANNOUNCEMENT today at 4PM WAT.”
The foundation prioritizes supporting artists from underrepresented and underserved communities. Its programs are designed to equip participants with skills, industry knowledge, and confidence to tell their stories and make an impact on African and global music culture.
“The Foundation is dedicated to empowering emerging talent through music, education, and creative opportunity by providing access to world-class music training, mentorship, and resources across the African continent,” the foundation’s website states.
“We believe music is more than sound; it’s identity, voice, and possibility. When young people are given the tools to develop their craft and understand the industry, they gain confidence, direction, and the ability to shape culture on a bigger stage.”
As part of the initiative, Tiwa Savage has partnered with Berklee College of Music to deliver a four-day intensive program for emerging musicians.
The program will provide hands-on experience in performance, songwriting, production, and music business, while connecting participants with industry professionals.
