Afrobeats Ambassador
Known for her blend of Afrobeats, R&B, pop and hip-hop, 43-year-old Tiwa is one of Nigeria’s biggest hitmakers and music ambassadors.
Since winning the MTV Europe Music Award for Best African Act in 2018, making her the first woman to succeed in the category, the 43-year-old singer continues to break boundaries in the largely male-dominated Nigerian music industry.
Speaking to the BBC, the Nigerian singer-songwriter expressed her gratitude for the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
“It’s truly an honour to represent Africa and the Commonwealth at such an historic event. I look forward to joining the celebrations and bringing Afrobeats to Windsor Castle for the first time”, Tiwa said.
