The initiative, unveiled in partnership with the Berklee College of Music, is designed to provide young talents across the continent with opportunities to develop their craft at an international standard.
According to Tiwa Savage, the foundation will focus on nurturing singers, songwriters, producers, and other creative professionals by connecting them with structured learning programmes, industry exposure, and professional guidance. She described the collaboration with Berklee as a significant step toward bridging the gap between African talent and global music education.
The partnership is expected to facilitate training sessions, workshops, scholarships, and mentorship programmes that align with global best practices in music performance, production, and business. Organisers say the initiative will also spotlight the richness and diversity of African sounds while equipping participants with the technical and entrepreneurial skills needed to thrive in the global industry.
Berklee College of Music, known for training some of the world’s leading contemporary artists and music professionals, expressed enthusiasm about collaborating on a platform that supports Africa’s fast-growing creative sector.
Industry stakeholders have welcomed the foundation, describing it as a timely intervention that could open doors for talented but under-resourced creatives across the continent.
With Africa’s music scene gaining increasing global recognition, the new foundation is seen as a strategic move to invest in the next generation of artists and strengthen the continent’s presence on the world stage.
