Tiwa Savage was interviewed by
Vibe.com where she opened up on her music and being signed to Roc Nation. She said....
“I know a lot of artists have gotten international deals, but for me the
genuine passion for Africa was just there and it started with me and
Bee-High and just him taking time to come to Nigeria several times. That
speaks volumes,”
For someone who is not from there, coming and
spending time and learning about the culture and saying that this can
crossover, it made me feel really comfortable. When I went to the Roc
Nation office here in New York, there was a genuine interest and genuine
love. It was the same feeling when I met Jay Z. He was genuinely
interested in the African culture and you can even see from some of the
artifacts he has in his office. It was a no brainer for me. I didn’t
have to shop around and see what my options were. There are some things
that when it just comes, you know it’s right. That was just the
situation. You hear a lot of times when people sign after a month,
they’re on their own. With Roc Nation, it seems their day-by-day support
is only getting stronger.”
