The Foundation aims to empower emerging African creatives by providing access to world-class music education, mentorship, and professional training.
As part of the Foundation’s inaugural programme, “Berklee in Nigeria: Tiwa Savage Intensive Music Program,” 100 participants have been selected and will receive hands-on training in music production, songwriting, sound engineering, and other key aspects of the music industry.
The programme is scheduled to take place this quarter in Lagos from April 23 to April 26, 2026.
