I Wish I Signed Falz And Simi, I Never Wanted Davido – Don Jazzy Express Regret

Music mogul and CEO of Mavin Records, Don Jazzy has expressed his regret for failing to sign the two prolific musical artistes; Simi and Falz at the early stages of their career.

Speaking in a Black Box Interview with Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, Don Jazzy revealed how he lost Falz due to his affiliation with another manager and how he failed to choose Simi in a music contest he staged years back.

Don Jazzy also noted that the singer he never wanted to manage is Davido.

Don Jazzy stated: ''I can’t say I turned them down. For Falz, the working situation wasn’t just right. I run a firm that could handle almost everything he needed.

“But I think he had like a management company set up already. It was like Tiwa Savage’s but I had to grow into that kind of scenario where I had to handle someone that had a record label, some blueprint process.

“I equally didn’t reject Simi. I did a Twitter contest for ‘Journey of A Thousand Miles. I also loved her cover because she was one of the people that participated but she didn’t win.

''I didn’t pick the winners. I liked her but you can’t sign anybody. That’s one person I also regretted, I won’t say regret. But I wish we worked on stuff together. The same thing with Teni. We used to check up on each other.

“I had not grown to the point that I would move you from Atlanta to Nigeria for work. Now I can and we work before deciding if we are going to sign. Before I knew what was happening, there were faster people.

“She released records and I was like, ‘okay, we lost that one. Three hot stars. The only person I didn’t want to sign was Davido I didn’t want to sign him but I knew he was going to be huge. They have money already now.''

Over the weekend, Don Jazzy revealed that he got married for the first time 18 years ago.

Don Jazzy disclosed this on Saturday on his Instagram page.

He revealed that he got married at the age of 20 and the marriage crashed due to his love for music.

According to him, this is the reason why he has remained unmarried till now.
