Personality of the week: DON JAZZY

Although not acknowledging himself as a recording artist, he is responsible for doing most background vocals for artists he produces, and sometimes sings complete verses. His musical dexterity can be heard through his beats and well calculated vocals. That's why today, we at Comedy+ Magazine  crowns him as the Personality of the week. Michael Collins Ajebo popularly better known as Don Jazzy, is a Nigerian multi award-winning record producer, singer-songwriter, musician, former CEO of Mo' Hits Records and current CEO of Mavin Records. Don Jazzy who was born in Umuahia in Abia state, alongside his friend and partner  (Dbanj) they created the Mohits record label.

Don Jazzy's first full credit production work was in 2004 on Tongolo for Nigerian singerD'banj. He went on to produce D'banj's first studio album titled No Long Thing released in 2005. He has produced tracks for some of our well known music stars like; Dr SID, Wande Coal, Emeka Infiniti, D'Prince, Darey, Naeto C,Olakunle Excel et Zanga, Sauce Kid,Ikechukwu & Tiwa Savage. He also collaborated with Jay-Z and Kanye West on the production of Lift Off, featuring Beyoncéon the album Watch The Throne, released on 8 August 2011. He recently was rated as the 39th "Most powerful celebrity in Africa" according to Forbes. However, after 8 years of hard work and struggles to set up the Mo' Hits label, around March 2012, there was rumours of irreconcilable differences between the label heads which till date has not been resolved. Later in the year,on 7 May Don Jazzy kept his promise of a new beginning, taking to Twitter to announce his new Record Label known asMavin Records and further promised to release a compilation album of the label artists the very next day. The album which was executive-produced by him, has gathered critical reviews, while blessing the fans with hit songs like Amarachi, Forever, Oma Ga,Take Banana and Chocolate, others are such a C.P.R, YOLO and the labels anthem I'm a MAVIN.The multiple award winning producer also announced that Tiwa Savage would be joining the Mavin family. The signing of Savage, one of Nigeria's leading vocalists, is seen as a major coup for the budding record label and Don Jazzy promised fans that there are many more exciting faces to be "activated" by the label in the near future. The label boasts an addition of Tiwa Savageto part of the former members of Mo' Hits Records who is now the label first lady, with a promise of more addition of "Mavins" in the near-future. On 5 November 2013, he had a cold fight with his former label act wande over stolen of music production from him. While on 7 November, his record label released official statement of Wande Coal departure from the label.
