Will Don Jazzy Celebrate 10th Anniversary? by chibyksveejay(m): 9:25pm On Feb 19, 2015 |
Like everyone else, music starts from the church, at childhood or while in school. Either ways, musicians in this part of the world often start to count their number of years from when they take music as a full time career or when they record/release their first song. In this case, history has it that Mavin boss, Don Jazzy’s first full credit production work was in 2004 on D’banj’s debut single, ‘Tongolo’ and then he went on to produce D’banj’s debut album, No Long Thing that was released in 2005. It is a well-known fact that Don Jazzy and D’banj relocated to Nigeria from the United Kingdom to pursue a career in music, and within a very short time, they both became household names and recorded astounding success. Before relocating to Nigeria in 2004, Don Jazzy, born Micheal Collins Ajereh, got to London in 2000 and to survive, he picked up various odd jobs including working at McDonalds and as a security guard before his paths crossed with those of JJC and the 419 crew, Solek and Kas in the UK where he joined the crew and started honing his skills in music production. With the news of the rapid growth of Nigerian music and its artistes, Don Jazzy and D’banj took the bold steps to relocate to Nigeria and officially, their careers kicked off. Together, Don Jazzy and D’banj created what was, is and might probably remain the best music marriage in the Nigerian music industry. With Mo’hits records, they broke boundaries, released back-to-back hits, crossed borders, won awards, signed mega deals, signed up new artistes, and did so much more, before the union packed up in 2012 and they went their separate ways. Fast forward to 2015, Don Jazzy has moved on to create a new label, Mavin Records, while D’banj has also formed DB Records, they have both signed up new acts and are building new empires of their own. Truth be told, they are both doing well. D’banj, however, is rolling out the drums with a year-long event planned to celebrate his 10th anniversary as an entertainer, with plans to drop a 10th anniversary album with possible production credits from Don Jazzy. And as a music producer, Don Jazzy has been the brain behind D’banj’s first 3 albums, he produced Dr. Sid’s debut album, Turning Point in 2010, Wande Coal’s Mushin To Mo Hits album in 2008, D’Prince’s debut album, Frenzy. He also produced the Mo’Hits joint album, Curriculum Vitae in 2007 as well as the Mavin Records’ Solar Plexus album in 2012. The big question now is, as it is D’banj’s 10th anniversary, it is also Don Jazzy’s 10th anniversary, so will he be celebrating it or not? With his impressive feats, Mr. Ajereh has every bragging right to throw a kingly gig – in Lagos (first leg), London, New York, Los Angeles, Atlanta, Asia and back to Lagos for a final leg. Don Jazzy, over to you!
