Tiwa Savage reveals why she chooses not to sign upcoming artistes

Famous Nigerian songstress Tiwa Savage has revealed why she chooses not to sign upcoming artistes, stating that managing musicians comes with overwhelming stress and responsibility.

In a recent interview with Forbes Africa, The Water and Garri hitmaker said she does not have the gift to manage up and coming artistes behavior.

According to her, handling artistes requires a level of patience and dedication that she does not possess, as it often comes with unexpected challenges.

The 45-year-old singer further disclosed that she would rather build a music school for up and coming singers to develop their craft before signing with record labels better equipped to guide them in their careers.

"Everyone always ask when are you going to sign an artiste? I don’t think I have the gift to sign artistes because they are stressful. I could just wake up from sleep and my artiste is trending for something else.

“But I have the gift to help, which is why I’m trying to have a music school, where artiste can go and later sign to a label that can actually help.’’
