Almost immediately, her Kele Kele Love single became a hit, recording enormous success across Nigeria and parts of Africa.
An amazing songwriter, Savage has also written songs for the likes of Babyface, Kat Deluna, Fantasia Barrino, Monicaand Mya.
In 2009, she signed as a singer/songwriter with SONY/ATV a deal that did a lot of good to her credibility as a fine material.
She is currently signed to Mavin Records, owned by Nigerian producer Don Jazzy.
