The global music industry has from time immemorial been a male dominated industry.
This situation is clearly observable as well in the Nigeria music
industry where for one female rapper there are 5 male rappers and for
one female singer, you can find 20 male singers.

Tiwa Savage

Seyi-Shay
Not to get you bored, this piece is
actually not a comparism feature between male artistes and their female
counterparts but an insight to how well Nigerian female artistes are
thriving in spite of the strive amongst males. Tiwa-Savage and Seyi-Shay
happen to be just two of our celebrated female artistes whom we are
confidently proud of.
In 2010, we all got introduced to Tiwa-Savage when she released her
first single under Flytime Entertainment headed by Cecil Hammond; the
song titled
“Kele Kele” was produced by H-Money and ever since Tiwa has worked her way to becoming one of Nigeria favorite female artistes.
Two years later, we were made to notice another Nigeria talented
female artiste- Seyi Shay. Following the path of Tiwa, Seyi-Shay
released her official singles
“No Lele” and
“Loving Ur Way” produced by H-Money and was also released under Cecil’s Flytime Entertainment as well.
It struck me to observe that beside the fact that these two female
artistes chose to work with the same producer on their first singles
which is based on their productive stay in England, there seems to be
more similarities in their musical career.
