‘I met B High (Jay Z’s cousin, and Roc Nation chief of mobile strategies), I got a call, and he mentioned it and I (makes a skeptical sound)…He was serious.’
She made it clear that the label is not trying to change her sound.
‘I love the fact that they are not trying to change me. They really just want to bring what I already have to offer to the rest of the world, and they truly believe in the movement.’
Tiwa goes on to explain how afrobeats is rhythm based and how certain artists are influenced by the music coming out of America.
‘We are influenced by Soul Music, R&B, and I think that is the beauty of it; blending both markets together.’ she said.
