‘NIGERIAN ARTISTES NEED TO STAY TRUE TO THEMSELVES’ -TIWA SAVAGE

 Adesope Olajide interviews Tiwa Savage

Tiwa Savage was a recent guest on Factory 78. The MAVIN Records first lady got talking about her style of music, stage craft amongst other things.

She talked about how the Nigerian musicians altered their style to fit the European market. ‘Nigerian music has so much rhythm and so much soul, we just need to stay true to ourselves.
