SAVAGE PENS RECORD DEAL WITH UNIVERSAL MUSIC, QUITS MAVIN RECORDS AFTER 7-YRS
Sultry singer Tiwa Savage has secured an international recording
deal with Universal Music Group after parting ways with Supreme Mavin Dynasty
run and owned by music producer Don Jazzy.
The development was made known by the American global music
corporation when it announced through its official Instagram account that they
were “thrilled to welcome Tiwa Savage, one of Africa’s biggest stars to the
Universal Music Group Family”.
Reacting officially to the deal singed by Tiwa Savage, Efe
Ogbeni and Vannessa Amadi-Ogbonna of Stealth Management, partners of UMG Group
said: “We’re very proud to be a part of this ground-breaking partnership
between Tiwa Savage and Universal Music Group.
“Tiwa is undoubtedly the most hard working and talented female
artist crossing over from Africa to the rest of the world, and UMG has
demonstrated its commitment to the Continent by placing its formidable
machinery behind her amazing career.
“Partnerships like these symbolise the hopes and dreams of so
many talented artists back home in Africa and it is an honour to be the
executive producers of her project.”
Under the new agreement signed on Thursday, Tiwa’s future music
will be released internationally through UMG’s operations in more than 60
countries worldwide and projects would be executively produced by Efe Ogbeni
and Vannessa Amadi-Ogbonna.
Tiwa has also reacted to pitching tents with Universal Music
Group saying; “My biggest goal is to make Africa proud. I’m so excited for this
moment and I’m thankful to Sir Lucian Grainge and my new UMG family for their
belief in my dreams.
“I’m looking forward to this next chapter in my career and I’m
more ready than I have ever been.
“It’s like a dream and more importantly it means that I’m part
of the legacy, I’m part of a huge engine and it’s definitely an honour,” she
added.
Meanwhile, Mavin head honcho Don Jazzy has sent his farewell
message to Tiwa Savage who spent seven successful years on the label.
Don Jazzy took to his Instagram account to send a “Thank you for
an amazing seven years” photo which he captioned:
“Our darling Tiwatope. We at Mavin would like to say a very big
thank you for being such an inspiration to all of us, a friend, a sister.
“It’s been an epic journey with you and we are very proud of
what we have achieved together.
“As you start this new chapter in your life we want you to know
that we are solidly behind you and can’t wait for the world to see what we have
always believed you can be.
“Your jersey as the `First Lady of Mavin’ will forever be yours
as we do not intend to fill that position with anyone else.
“We love you from the
bottom of the heart and pray GOD’s blessings to continue to follow you.
Amennnn,” he added.
