Don Jazzy
The co-founder of Man Made Music, and Kukere master, Iyanya has just joined the Mavin crew in what seems like a plot twist. A move Nigeria fans could not understand as Iyanya seems to be a label owner himself, and seeing him under Mavin records seems to be a surprise.
Iyanya departed from long term partner, Ubi Franklin, and promised fans, he is looking to start his own record label soon, but a few hours ago, Iyanya was seen with Mavin records CEO, Don Jazzy with a tweet welcoming him to the Mavin family.
Tradition demands new song from new signee to Mavin records, and that is what Iyanya did with his new song.
