Nigerian Singer, Tiwa Savage has revealed that she never planned on getting into music until she got into high school and had a crush on a boy.
In an intersting interview with New York’s VIBE Magazine, Tiwa Savage said, ''I played trombone. Don’t ask me if I still play (laughs), but I literally picked it up because I had a crush on a boy in high school. He used to hang around with the cool kids, the musicians and dancers’.
''Here I was: this kid fresh from Nigeria, strong accent, my mom shaved my hair off. I tried to get his attention. I went to this music teacher and said that I really wanted to do music. He looked to the corner of the room and said the trombone was the only instrument left. I picked it up, but eventually got bullied for it because it was always getting in the way on the bus. That was having the opposite effect of what I wanted because this guy’s now laughing at me instead of falling in love with me. So, I gave up and joined the choir‘.
