Nigerian singer-songwriter and actress Tiwa Savage has said that she has no plans to sign upcoming artistes.
She stated this in an interview with Forbes Africa on Thursday.
According to her, managing musicians could be incredibly stressful.
She said she did not feel equipped to handle the responsibility, maintaining that artists could be a handful, and the pressure of managing them can be overwhelming.
“Everyone always asks me, ‘When will you sign an artiste?’ I don’t think I have the gift to sign another artiste, because artistes are stressful.
” I could just be sleeping, and then I will wake up, and my artiste is trending for something else,” she said.
Instead of signing new artistes, she said she wanted to create opportunities for them through alternative means.
She said she was working on establishing a music school where aspiring musicians could hone their craft before potentially signing with a record label that could provide the support they needed.
“But I do have the gift to help, which is why I am trying to do the music school, where you can go and later sign to a label that can actually help you,” she stated.
