A Unique Blend of African and Western Sounds
In a statement released by the event’s organizers, Tiwa Savage was selected as one of the few African artists to perform at the coronation concert. Her unique blend of African and Western sounds made her an exceptional artiste and a perfect fit for the event.

Fueled by the growth and opportunities in the Nigerian music industry, Savage relocated back to Nigeria in 2012 and signed with Mavin Records.
A Rhythmic and Soulful Fusion of Afrobeats, R&B, and Pop
