Don Jazzy

**Don Jazzy** is a legendary Nigerian music producer, entrepreneur, and the visionary founder of Mavin Records—a powerhouse label that’s shaped the sound of modern Afrobeats. Born Michael Collins Ajereh in Umuahia, Nigeria, Don Jazzy began his career in the UK before returning home to co-found Mo’ Hits Records with D’banj in the 2000s, birthing timeless hits. After launching Mavin in 2012, he became a mentor to stars like Tiwa Savage, Rema, and Ayra Starr, blending Afrobeat rhythms with slick, genre-defying production.

Though best known as a behind-the-scenes maestro, Don Jazzy occasionally steps into the spotlight for playful collaborations, like the 2023 banger *Safe* with Falz and the Mavin crew, or his viral *How Are You My Friend* remix. His recent releases, including *No Gree* and *E Better*, often showcase his knack for catchy hooks and witty social commentary, proving he’s still a hitmaking force. When he’s not crafting bops, he’s cracking jokes on Twitter (sorry, “X”) or mentoring the next generation of Nigerian superstars. Legend status? Secured.
