The single mum of one who always shares her story to inspire younger generation, said she don’t want a 20-year-old girl who is out there who hasn’t won a Grammy or who hasn’t been signed (to a record label) to feel like it is never going to happen. All you have to do is look at me.”
The Universal Music Group act, Tiwatope Savage in an interview with The Dotty Show on Apple Music, revealed that she was under pressure while working on her last album, ‘Celia’. “I literally started at the beginning of the year. I took out about a month. I did not listen to anything. I had a camp in Nigeria; I rented out about nine rooms. I didn’t even see my family. I was there every day. I also worked from pain. I was under pressure. I was about to turn 40 and I was scared and nervous. I was just signed to Universal Music. I wasn’t with Mavin anymore.
There was so much that was happening in my life and I was coming from a very scared place when I worked on the album. However, I decided I was going to do it, even though I was scared.
If it became a success, which it has become for me, I believe it could be a motivation for other women that whatever they are going through, they just have to work with the fear; work through it,” she said
