    Don Jazzy the CEO of Mavin Records, with over 6 artistes signed to his label has been the source of many artistes who have achieved success in their music career.

    The relationship between Don Jazzy and Oladapo Daniel also known as D’banj can be dated close to two decades.

    They both fostered one of the best music partnership in the Nigerian music industry.

    Formerly known as Mo-hits records, the duo’s combination could never go wrong.

    Don Jazzy was the executive producer who produced most of Dbanj‘s songs.

    It is safe to say, the hit songs and those that gained D’banj awards and recognition were all produced by Don Jazzy.

    However, the two split up around 2012 making it difficult for D’banj to deliver more hit bangers.

    Without further inclusion, D’banj’s music career became a success with the help of Don Jazzy.

     

    Wande Coal:

    In 2008, Wande Coal released his first and only album in the record label titled Mushin 2 Mohits featuring Kayswitch and D’banj.

    His popular song “Bumper2Bumper” that got everywhere rocking was part of the hit songs in the album.
