Mavins Records latest entrant, Iyanya, has disclosed how super producer, Don Jazzy’s influence on his music is helping him improve the quality of both his sound and his lyrics.
The singer revealed that Don Jazzy has to approve his lyrics before his work can come out as part of the company’s internal check and balance system.
In a chat with Daily Times, the talented singer also said that he was not in competition with anybody on the team but was only interested in making music.
He said, “Mavin is a wonderful team full of talented people, and it’s directed by Don Jazzy who is one of the biggest in the game in Africa. In the whole word if you want to say Africa’s great musicians, you cannot miss that name. Being a part of the Mavin is also a new journey for me, because am working with someone who has been there before so it an opportunity to also learn more stuff. Am not rushing to have that title, I don’t need you to give me the title. I just need you to pay me for my souls and my services.
Don Jazzy is incredible and so talented, like I said have been learning stuff since I started working with him. So am sure with him directing my music, you will hear another side of me. He will definitely have an input in lyrics; on my part I will write my lyrics but as structured team there is need for checks and balance.”
I am not there to compete with anyone, am not there to struggle on nothing. Am there to do my own thing, the platform is big enough for everybody just like the sky is big enough for the birds to fly, can you count the bird in the sky? Everybody there work together, that why they always win, somebody is always there to support and encourage you. Am there to make great music since I joined Mavins, it’s been nothing but love.
