Award winning songwriter and artist, Tiwa Savage has revealed why she is not enthused about signing an up-and-coming artise.
She made this known in an interview on Forbes Africa on Thursday, March 7.
She noted that music management can become a chore without the requisite knowledge of how to handle new talents. According to her, maintaining that artists can be a handful and the pressure of managing them can be overwhelming.
“Everyone always asks me, ‘When will you sign an artiste?’ I don’t think I have the gift to sign another artiste, because artists are stressful. I could just be sleeping, and then I will wake up and my artist is trending for something else,” she said.
She, however, said that rather than sign an act, she would rather create opportunities for them through alternative means.
She is working on establishing a music school where aspiring musicians can hone their craft before potentially signing with a record label that can provide the support they need.
“But I do have the gift to help, which is why I am trying to do the music school, where you can go and later sign to a label that can actually help you,” she added.
