MAVINS Records big boss, Don Jazzy, born Michael Collins Ajereh is an enigma, whom very little is known about. He once boasted that he hates talking onstage and rarely ever grants press interviews. Apart from his activities on social media very little is known about the multi-award winning music maker.
But recently Don Jazzy let down his guard and granted some interviews, from which we were able to unmask the real man behind the Dorobucci brand. Here are some facts you probably don’t know about the Nigeria’s foremost music maker.
