Mavin Records CEO, Michael Collins Ajereh, popularly known as Don Jazzy, has revealed why he didn`t sign music heavyweights, Wizkid and Davido, when they were still up-and-coming.
The music executive said he couldn`t sign Ayodeji Balogun also known as Wizkid to his now-defunct record label, Mo`hits, because EME boss, Banky W got to the Starboy before him.
Don Jazzy stated this while having a chat on the Leaderboard podcast hosted by Fisayo Fosudo, adding that he had the opportunity to sign Davido but didn`t because he figured out that the FEM crooner would succeed without a record label`s support.
The ace music producer also regretted not signing sonorous songstresses, Simisolo Kosoko aka Simi and Teniola Apata also known as Temi. Don Baba J said he almost signed rapper, Falz to his label, but the deal broke down.
He said; “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.”
