Take note, when we said Tiv Musicians we are referring to the traditional musicians in the tribe. But it will be nice to know that, there are a good number of Tiv musicians who are doing handsomely with the modern style of singing in Nigeria apart from the traditional style.
These musicians are perfectly doing their best in modern genres of music ranging from hip hop, Jazz, Juju, Reggae, Afropop, Afrobeats, etc.
However, most of them are yet to breakthrough into the music industry even with their massive talent. This could be due to so many hindrances such as lack of sponsorship, or other obstacles.
While other ones like Tay Iwar, Slikish, Od Wood, Atera, etc, are handsomely doing well attracting achievements and winning a lot of awards.
