Don Jazzy, CEO of Mavin Records, says he regrets not g musicians like Falz, Simi, and Teni, Igbere TV reports.

The record producer spoke in the second part of his Black Box Interview with Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, the TV host.

Don Jazzy said things didn’t work out between Falz and Mavin as the singer was d with another manager.

Commenting on Simi, the record label boss said the music cover contest he had staged to select new artistes didn’t single her out as a winner.

“Regrets? I wish I signed Falz; Simi. Of course, the opportunity came. Don’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,” Don Jazzy said.

“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 didn’t reject Simi. I did a Twitter contest for ‘Journey of A Thousand Miles’, DPrince’s record featuring Wande Coal. I loved her cover. She was one of the people that participated. She didn’t win but she was high up there.

“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. It happened. The only person is David. I didn’t want to sign him but I knew he was going to be huge. They have money already now.”

Don Jazzy also gave some insight into how his record label realises new signees.

Goodluck we all need.

We all regrets some moves we fail to make

Ruger, Rema are more talented than the three of em combined. That ain't a big loss.

Don Baba

The last paragraph thoo...Money talks

True definition of "Born with a silver spoon"

Don easy on d media bfr u gather haterz

U know human beings na especially frustrated Nigerians

Well we'll well... Can't say he made the wrong decision.....

Dbanj Signed with Kanye West and it wasn't really a fantastic period for his career as an artiste....His music was clearly missing the don jazzy"s touch...

same thing with iyanya....when he separated from D'tunes his music was clearly lacking that finesse that D'tunes brought to the table

good thing is that They are all great artistes tho...

falz and Simi might have flopped under him...

Iyanya didn't really do well in Mavin..

Afterall Davido signed Idowest but we all know Mayorkun is Davido's man come rain come shine..

If he had missed the opportunity to sign Idowest it might have been a different story....

we all know it's because they are Yorubas nothing new . the kind hatred Igbo get for Yoruba eehn

They all still managed to become somebody in life...We shouldn't put all our hope in men. Man can promise and fail but God will always be God.

And so

Sometimes, I just think am not channeling my energy into what really matters to me..
Like not focusing on what am good at..

I just Sabi say this country no go kill my dream

Are we already in the season of confession?
I hope Donjazzy is fine though

Nothing spoiled, everyone is doing well on his or her own.

Ok. Your excuses are valid.

The only person is David. I didn’t want to sign him but I knew he was going to be huge. They have money already now.”
