It’s My Calling To Help Young Artists – Don Jazzy

Renowned Nigerian music executive and talent developer, Michael Collins Ajereh, also known as Don Jazzy, has revealed that he is destined to help young artists.

The Mavin’s head disclosed this in a podcast interview.

Don Jazzy said:

“My priorities have changed over the years. I basically started as a musician but along the line, I started doing different things. Finding, and growing young artists into global superstars and things like that.

“But then I wouldn’t want to restrict it to that at the moment. At the moment, I feel like I’m just building the [Nigerian music] ecosystem in general. Leveraging on the huge brand that I had built to just impact people’s lives”.

He further said:

“I feel like it’s my calling to help people grow. I have a strong conviction that I know how to work with people. In our early stage when we started [as musicians], we were kind of lost for a while before we got our balance. So, if I see young artists now, I’m like, ‘if this person doesn’t have guidance before they get to a certain level, they might just be lost as well. It would be nice if we could speed up the process. It would be nice if somebody that has been down the road before… You know where the potholes are, you can just tell the person that, I have used this road before. Avoid this road, follow here’.

“Follow who knows the road. If the person that has gone there before knows the road and does not want to show somebody the road, you can not be following for no reason. So, I feel like anybody that has any update about how to survive, should share the update”.

Don Jazzy said he couldn’t sign Wizkid to the label because EME boss, Banky W got to the Starboy before him.

He revealed:

“I like Simi, I didn’t sign her. I wish I did. I like Teni, but I didn’t sign her. I wish I did.

“I had the opportunity of signing Davido but I didn’t because I kind of figured that he would be fine. Wizkid, obviously, I couldn’t because Banky W got to him first. That would have been amazing. Falz, I love his work. We almost had a deal”.
