Nigerian superstar, Tiwa Savage, has been a global and multifaceted artist instrumental to the long-standing success of the genre and the Nigerian music scene as a whole. After decades of building an indisputable artistic repertoire, her ambition broadens with an additional layer to her interests as a philanthropist. This development takes form in her newly established Tiwa Savage Music Foundation, built with the sole aim of empowering an ecosystem of creative personas from artists, songwriters, producers, sound engineers, music executives, and as many talents that fit into the music flora.  

In collaboration with her alma mater, Berklee College of Music, where she was awarded a scholarship at just 24 years old to pursue her dreams, the flagship course will offer free education, access to world-class training materials, and mentorship to 100 participants who will be selected based on merit.

For Tiwa Savage, the goal is to be a conduit between talents and the harrowing situation of inaccessibility back in Africa. “Talent is universal — but access is not,” she says. “The Tiwa Savage Music Foundation is my commitment to giving others that same opportunity that was given to me. For too long, African creatives have been perceived as late to global systems. Education changes that. Access changes that. Ownership changes that.”

The maiden edition ‘Berklee In Nigeria: Tiwa Savage Intensive Music Program’ is a daily program scheduled to run over the course of four days from April 23-26, 2026, in the county’s creative hub, Lagos. Applications are set to start from March 10, 2026.  With the launch of her music foundation, Tiwa Savage is on the path to cementing herself as a legend who, beyond modeling a successful career, also primed a generation to come.
