It is an honor to speak on behalf of Africa and the Commonwealth on this historic occasion. I’m thrilled to be a part of the celebrations and to bring Afrobeats to Windsor Castle.
Tiwa Savage (born Tiwatope Savage-Balogun) is a Nigerian singer and actress who has been dubbed the “Queen of Afrobeats” in recent years. Tiwa was born in Lagos, Nigeria, but moved to London when she was 11 years old and began her singing career there.
Tiwa Savage got a publishing deal with Sony/ATV Music Publishing in 2009 after appearing on the UK edition of The X Factor and graduating from Berklee College of Music. Savage returned to Nigeria in 2012 and signed with Mavin Records, motivated by the booming music industry there.
