Nigerian music star Tiwa Savage has announced a new initiative aimed at empowering emerging African creatives through access, mentorship and world-class music education.

Taking to X, the award-winning singer revealed the launch of TSMF Official, a platform dedicated to supporting and nurturing the next generation of talent across the continent.

“After years of building globally… It’s time to build at home,” she wrote, signalling a renewed focus on investing in Nigeria and the wider African creative industry.

As part of the initiative, Savage announced that, for the first time, the prestigious Berklee College of Music will be coming to Lagos for the Tiwa Savage Intensive Music Program. 

The programme is designed to provide aspiring artists with direct access to high-quality music education, mentorship and industry insights.

The move marks a significant milestone, bringing one of the world’s leading music institutions to Nigeria and creating new opportunities for young African creatives to develop their craft at an international standard without leaving the continent.

Savage said the programme is focused on empowering Africa’s next generation of talent, reinforcing her commitment to giving back to the industry that shaped her career.
