Talent is not enough in music industry, says Tiwa Savage

Afrobeats superstar Tiwa Savage says talent alone is not enough to succeed in today’s music industry, stressing that opportunity, access and industry knowledge are just as important.​ The 46 year old singer made the point while speaking about the vision behind her Tiwa Savage Music Foundation, an initiative created to support emerging African creatives with training, exposure and professional guidance. “Music changed my life but talent alone isn’t enough especially when access is limited,” she said, adding that many gifted youths struggle because they lack structure and support.​ Savage said the foundation, run in partnership with the prestigious Berklee College of Music, is designed to “open people’s eyes to the full scope of what’s possible in music”, beyond just singing or performing.

‘Jamaica started Afrobeats’, says Rapper Fat Joe

American rapper Fat Joe has stirred controversy by claiming that Afrobeats originated from Jamaica. The veteran hip hop star made the remark on a recent episode of his “Joe and Jada” podcast while hosting Jamaican dancehall legend Buju Banton. “Jamaica started Afrobeats. Even though everything comes from Africa,” Fat Joe declared during the conversation. Buju Banton did not directly challenge the statement. Instead, he steered the discussion towards the roots of reggaeton, crediting Panamanian rapper El General as a pioneer whose work helped shape the genre and influence others. However, Afrobeats is widely recognised as a sound that emerged from West Africa, particularly Nigeria and Ghana. The genre draws heavily from Afrobeat, the revolutionary music style created in the 1970s by Nigerian icon Fela Anikulapo Kuti, while blending highlife, hip hop, R&B and other global influences. Fat Joe’s comment has […]

Why artists need discipline in music industry, by Lojay

Afrobeats singer Lojay has highlighted the importance of discipline for artists who want a long and successful career in the music industry.
