Veteran music executive and Mavin Records boss, Don Jazzy, has stated that he wished his record label signed singers Davido, Simi, Teni and Falz.
In a recent conversation, the entertainer admitted that he missed those golden opportunities but also stressed that he couldn’t have signed all artists no matter how good they are.
Additionally, Don Jazzy revealed that he didn’t sign Davido when he had the opportunity to because he believed the “Omo Baba Olowo” coroner was destined for greatness with or without joining his record label.
Also, the music boss said the effort to get Falz on board didn’t go through.
As for Wizkid, he explained that the singer was already under the management of another executive at the time, making any potential signing impossible.
Don Jazzy concluded by acknowledging the reality of the industry, “You can’t sign everybody, no matter how talented they are.”
He said, “I like Simi. I didn’t sign her. I wish I did. I like Teni. I wish I did. I had the opportunity for Davido, obviously, but I didn’t because I kind of figured that he would be fine. To Wizkid, obviously, I couldn’t because Banky got to him first. That would have been amazing. Falz, I love his work, and we almost actually had a deal. Well, it didn’t work out. But then at the end of the day, you cannot sign everybody.”
