Don Jazzy sets up new record label - Mavin Records. Signs Tiwa Savage

  
The ace producer and former CEO of Mohits Records announced his new label on Twitter a few hours ago. It's no longer Mohits Records, its now Mavin Records (Mavin pronounced as May-vin). And he has signed the new label's first female artist; the unbelievably talented Ms Tiwa Savage. Aside from D'banj and his brother K-Switch, all the other artists under the now defunct Mohits records are with Mavin Records. 

Meanwhile a compilation album titled Solar Plexus, produced by Don Jazzy and featuring Wande Coal, Dr Sid, D'Prince and Tiwa Savage will be released tomorrow May 8th.

The record exec also tweeted that more artists will be signed to the label soon. And erm...go to Wikipedia's definition of Solar Plexus. #thankmelater :-)

  6. And To All Of You Whom Dbanj Is Your Jesus Christ Of The Music Industry And Also Those Stupid Illiterates Out There Do You Still Believe That Don Jazzy Used Wande Cole's Twitter Account To Write All Those Things Or Wande Did It Himself? Or Dbanj Was Just Bad Mouthing Don Jazzy. Mtshewww Nigerians Ehen.....No Body Is Wishing Dbanj Bad Or Anything But The Way He Handle The Whole Situation only Shows How Irresponsible and Immature He Is.

  34. I was actually xpcting a restructuring of the record label bt i did nt envisage a rename. This is gud cos it will gv Don Jazzy a free hand & complete control of d label cos the managment will be changed even in documents.The signing of Tiwa Savage is also laudable & i think it is long over due bcos she is v.talented & has this affiliation with the defunct Mohits family. I wish all the MAVIN crew & even Dbanj goodluck (not Jonathan) in all their endeavours. Cheers!

  49. This simply means DBANJ truly owned mo'hits nigeria has a governing body that registers businesses CAC www.cac.gov.ng if DON JAZZY truly owned mo'hits why did he have to go on and create a new label? this is the Qstn u lots should ask yourselves.

    if Dbanj isnt the owner and was just an artiste all the business owner needs to do is end the contract or if he dbanj just owned a little share he don jazzy can dissolve it by going to CAC.

    Nigerians we need to learn to apply common sense in all we do i love them both DBANJ and DON JAZZY #GOODLUCK

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Oga common sense. D banj doesn't own mohits, neither did Don jazzy. It was a partnership with share distribution. If Dbanj has opted out, and has gone away with his records blah blah,is it not just plain sensible that Don J should establish another record solely in his name in order to extinguish any ties with D-banj? That's common sense,I dunno whr ur own sense comes from though,oga cac.

      Delete
  50. So if don jazzy indeed owned mohits, then why the need to rebrand just cos d banj walked away?

    ReplyDelete
  51. its good for us to criticize but at times let us be constructive. those who know Don jazzy well and his antecedent can already foretell a change of name and re-branding since the ownership and name of Mo'hits was brought into disrepute by the split. the inclusion of talented Tiwa Savage is a massive boost and it will definitely pay off. this goes to prove Don Jazzy as a master strategist. i am for team #MAVIN. i wish Don baba Jay all the best on this one........its @neyopizzle again.

  53. please for all of you guys saying that don jazzy didn't really own mohits and thats d reason he changed d label name, d issue is not and has never been about who owns mohits! so? besides that is why it is called rebranding! he created a new brand!!!

  54. I call this BADASS rebranding and i loves it. GGMYB michael x

    ReplyDelete
  55. A name change does not mean dbanj was the owner of mohits. mind you if dbanj really was the owner his pr rep wont have said he was taken out of context during his interview with ebony. Mo-hits was a joint venture. now the guy want him own tin.

    ReplyDelete
  56. All u asking stupid questions it is simply called rebranding! That means everything changes even the name. If dbanj owned mohits, why did he deny saying that when he was being confronted? If dbanj truly owned mohits, why would don jazzy get upset when dbanj made the statement to ebony magazine. If dbanj owned mohits, why would don jazzy say he wants to scatter mohits( atleast dbanj said that in his last interview)Think before u comment please. Btw d prince Looks like lynxx in that photo.

  57. Dbanj should get over Oliver twist already and release an album. Why the competition again?. Yaaaawn

    IN A PARTNERSHIP WERE ON PARTNER RESIGNS,RETIRES, DIES,ETC, THE PARTNERSHIP AUTOMATICALLY DISSOLVES UNLESS THERES AN AGREEMENT TO THE CONTRARY IN THEIR PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT. SO WE'LL ASSUME IT WAS A STANDARD FROM AGREEMENT. ALSO THE NAME AND GOODWILL OF MO HITS HAD BEEN BROUGHT TO DISREPUTE WITH THE WHOLE SAGA, SO IT IS ONLY WISE THAT THE NAME AND BUSINESS STRUCTURE OF MOHITS BE CHANGED.

    Anyway, I hope Tiwa Savage improves on her live performances; cuz she is always screaming ha, hey, listen..I'm still pissed at the way she sang Beyonce's Dejavu during Ice Prince's album launch (posted on youtube), like seriously? She needs to get it together. #just saying. No one should better abuse me. Cuz yes, if I'm signed on a record label and have to perform live, I will not lip sync, I will dance and give people what they deserve. People might as well listen to the songs on their albums rather than see them perform live.

    I am sooo happy for him. Now can we all just move along and wish them well. People should please stop hating on DBanj. We cannot allow emotions to rule in business dealings. You have to take/make decisions that will work for your pocket the most. Their partnership was not a church or mosque where they are trying to save lives. They are entertainers and business men and should be allowed to move to the next level when they deem fit....IDJA this is good business strategy. I pray all parties involved have their dreams come true....

  98. @dsicube,wat part of the bush are u from? ur comment is freaking lame nad hungry!! neither dbanj nor don jazzy had sole ownership of mo'hits. there was a glitch and it's only wise dat don jazzy starts afresh since they had gone their seperate ways. Common sense is not so common afterall!!!!

  99. I'm not taking sides. They are both in a different place and ready to do something different. I wish both of them much success. Tiwa Savage is a great choice. Looking forward to good music.

  104. Don Jazzy, I don´t know if you visit Linda´s blogg but I hope you do cos this is my message to you. The decision you took to come back to Nigeria to re-organised your life is the best decision you have probably taken in your entire life. I believe God is the one directing you. Trust me on this and have faith in what I have just said. Dbanj is over encited and feeling he is now the king of the World because he happens to hang with Kanya West. I want Dbanj to know he has just began a jouney on a downward spiral. I wish him well..
