“I wanted to build something that opens people’s eyes to the full scope of what’s possible in music. There are meaningful, sustainable careers in music that don’t always exist in the spotlight,” she said.
The foundation’s first major project is a partnership with the prestigious Berklee College of Music, Tiwa’s alma mater.
