In a male-dominated industry, Tiwatope Savage-Balogun, better known by her stage name Tiwa Savage, is paving the way for artists to be referred to as artists not based on their genders but on impact.
From Kele Kele Love to Ma Lo, she has proven over and over again why she’s not just the first lady of Mavin but the biggest female act in Africa.
Her journey has not been one without obstacles; from the shadows of singing in the background, writing songs, to making her way to X Factor UK where she advanced to final 24 but didn’t make it through. Like every success story ever written, she didn’t let all these deter her.
Guardian Life had a chat with the singer, songwriter, performer and actress. Tiwa Savage talks about her journey in the music industry and how prepared she was to take over the Nigerian music industry, which she did. 
Grab a copy of The Guardian to read how and in her own words, it is “Possible to break those limitations and show the music industry that the new age African woman is here to stay!”.
