Mavin Records boss, Michael Collins Ajereh aka Don Jazzy, has opened up on how he never had money issues with his partner, D’Banj while they ran Mo’Hits records.
In a live programme with the Ubi Franklin, the Special Adviser on Tourism to Governor Ben Ayade, Don Jazzy said he enjoyed an uncommon relationship with D’Banj while they ran the record label together.
“The way I am with people in my company like myself and D’banj, money issues didn’t occur. I and D’Banj were so in sync that D’Banj can go to Oba of Lagos and return with N10 million and we would still share that money.
It doesn’t have anything to do with performance o,” he shared while stating the need for record label executives to have a good relationship with their artists.
Continuing, Don Jazzy said, “If you are not in a good relationship with the artist that is when he or she will go outside collecting shows and not tell you.
So bond with your artist more, it’s not everything that contract can solve but it is good to have a structure in place so that if by any chance things get out of hand you can step in and the contract can be what you guys can use to solve your problem but I try to make sure that it doesn’t get to that.”
Don Jazzy’s Mavin Records is home to top music acts like Dr. Sid, Ladipoe, D’Prince, Rema, and Crayon. The record label once had on its bill Di’ja, Tiwa Savage, Wande Coal, Reekado Banks, and Korede Bello.
