It’s fine to be the first and original and possibly the only version of yourself, but if you are an aspiring female singer in Nigerian and Tiwa Savage’s success story doesn’t inspire you, then you need a change of career.
When Tiwa Savage burst onto the Nigerian music scene about six years ago, she took everyone by surprise, her rise to fame was impressive, she became the most talked about female act in the land without any major controversy (at that time) and she kept the singing and performance 100 per cent.

Given the troubles, controversies and predicaments Tiwa has had to deal with in the past year, she’s been able to rise like a phoenix not only to reclaim her number spot but to also establish local and international dominance.
If you want to be like her, these are the things you must do…
-
Do NOT get married to your manager
I’m sure you already know how this will end. Mixing business with pleasure is a no, no. It never works.
2. Find your DON JAZZY
The success story of Tiwa Savage will never be complete without Don Jazzy. It’s important to have someone on your team with knowledge, intelligence and strategy to guide you.
3. Be a total package
Tiwa Savage didn’t become the biggest female music artiste of recent times by virtue of her talent alone. Like Davido once said, ‘Hardwork always beats talent’.
Tiwa worked her way to the top as a total package. She danced, flipped her weave, flaunted her goodies and used her voice right.
4. Your make-up game must be TIIIIGGGHHHHTTT
No better words to explain this…
5. Be intelligent when speaking to the media
Unlike Seyi Shay who speaks most times without facts, Tiwa Savage’s interview game is on point except for her ‘tell-all’ interview where she said a bit too much.
6. Rock your male fans
You gotta show love to the boys.
7. Surprise your fans at their wedding ceremonies
No better way to be in the good books of your fans than a little surprise every now and then.
