Last month, it was officially announced
that Mavins first lady, Tiwa Savage, had
finally solidified her deal with American
rapper, Jay Z’s Roc Nation.
Taking things a bit further, her profile, has
now been uploaded onto the label’s official
website.
Tiwa, via a quote on her profile, revealed
how estranged husband, Teebillz, played a
major role in creating the Tiwa Brand we
all love today.
According to the singer, Teebillz, made her
dump her songwriting career abroad to
kick-start a very successful music career in
Nigeria.
I met Tunji and he told me about the
growing Afrobeats scene back home in
Nigeria.
He thought I was wasting my talents being
a songwriter and a backing singer and
pushed me to move back to Africa.
At first I thought it was a bit of a step
backwards but he was adamant that this
was my future.
He knew it was what would set me apart
from the rest
Before returning home, Tiwa Savage, had a
music deal with Sony/ATV as a writer,
which saw her co-writing songs for
international stars like; Babyface, Kat
Deluna, Fantasia and Monica.
She was also privileged to provide
background vocals for George Micheal,
Mary J Blige, and on late Whitney
Houston’s 2009 album ‘I Look To You’.
