“Entering my billionaire mogul era” – Tiwa Savage

During her interview with Forbes, Tiwa Savage shared her determination to build an empire that will cement her status among the world’s self-made billionaire women.

After years in the music industry and gravitating towards acting and filmmaking. The singer opens up about diversifying into a new industry and the bigger dreams that fuel it.

Savage is thinking bigger. Her ambitions extend far beyond entertainment. “I want to go into my mogul era – billionaire Tiwa Savage,” she says with conviction.

The blueprint is clear—skincare, fashion, philanthropy, and, most significantly, education. Savage envisions a music school that does not just produce artists but also nurtures industry professionals, such as songwriters, producers, music therapists, and lawyers.

“I think a lot of times when people think of music, they think of just being an artist,” she explains.

“But there are so many aspects to the industry. I want to build a school or scholarship program that teaches that.”

Even as she dreams of reshaping the industry, she remains as candid as ever:

“Everyone always says to me, ‘When are you going to sign an artist?’ I don’t think I have the gift to sign another artist, because artists are stressful… I could just be sleeping, and then I will wake up and my artist is trending for something else”.

“But I do have the gift to help, which is why I am trying to do the music school, where you can go and later sign to a label that can actually help you,’’ she explains.

Ownership is another pillar of her vision. Afrobeats is no longer a niche genre; it is a global movement. As its influence grows, so does the need for African artists to retain control.

“We need to own our art, our publishing, our labels,” she says. “We need to tell our own stories.”

Savage has a radical dream: to see Africa become a mainstream music market.

“Why are we trying to break into another market? We should build our own to be the one others try to break into,” she states.

“If we had the right infrastructure, affordable data, and investment, we would not have to chase validation elsewhere.”
