Nigerian singer-songwriter and actress, Tiwa Savage, has revealed that she has no intentions of signing new artists.
In an interview with Forbes Africa on Thursday, Tiwa explained that managing artists can be overwhelming and stressful, a responsibility she doesn’t feel ready to take on.
She shared, “Everyone always asks me, ‘When will you sign an artiste?’ I don’t think I have the gift to sign another artiste, because artists are stressful. I could just be sleeping, and then I will wake up and my artist is trending for something else.
Instead of directly signing new talent, Tiwa is focused on creating opportunities for emerging artists. She is working on establishing a music school to help aspiring musicians refine their craft. The school would eventually serve as a stepping stone for those who want to sign with a label that can offer the support they need.
“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 added.
