‘I have been blessed’ – Tiwa Savage
The first lady of the Mavin crew explains how eager she
is to release here debut album and how she’d love to work with her
favourite female artiste Brandy…
At what point did you decide to go into music as full time career?
I started singing in my early teens and
almost immediately after, I got a gig to sing back up for George
Michael. That’s how I transitioned into making music a profession, not
just a hobby or passion.
Having lived abroad for a while, how were you able to break into the Nigerian music industry?
It was through the grace of God. I wrote
Kele Kele as a demo song and played it for some people. A very close
friend of mine, Bizzle Osikoya, believed in the song and played it for
couples of DJ’s and radio station and it just caught on really fast.
Ladies especially love it and from there I started getting some buzz.
God has just been opening more doors for me ever since then.
‘I miss D’banj’ – D’Prince
Don Jazzy’s younger brother tells ThisDay Style he has no regrets on the former label breakup…
Was your desire for music influenced by your older brother’s footsteps?
My big brother has always been an
influence for sure. But in a way, in our house, you have no choice than
to enjoy music growing up. Someone was always singing or dancing or
something. Don Jazzy set the way when he took the bold step to set his
label. That only helped to make my mind up.
Having released four hit singles, are you likely to release an album soon?
The new album is coming up and I promise
it’s going to be hot! We are working in the studio constantly because I
really want the first one to be a classic. We have been waiting for
MAVIN to take off before releasing but you can expect the album really
soon.

The 18-year-old heartthrob had managed to complete his performance after the accident, but passed out briefly in his dressing room afterwards.
He tweeted: “Just smacked my head and needed some water. All good. I’m Canadian. We are tough. LOL. It’s all good. Just gotta take it easy the rest of the night. Back at it again for you guys tomorrow. Thanks.”
