I regret not signing Simi and Falz to Mavins Record – Don Jazzy spills
<p>Nigerian singer, <strong>Michael Collins Ajereh</strong> popularly called <strong>Don Jazzy</strong> has revealed that he had wished to sign Simi and Falz to his record label, Mavin Records.</p>
<p>He disclosed this in an exclusive interview with Ebuka on Bounce radio station, on Sunday, April 4th, 2021.</p>
<p>When asked if he has any regret in life or his career, he said &#8220;I won&#8217;t call it regret but I wish I signed Simi and Falz.</p>
<p>Explaining why he did not sign Falz to his record label, he said that he didn&#8217;t turn him down, adding that it was just like that.</p>
<p>&#8220;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.</p>
<p>“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.</p>
<p>“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.</p>
<p>“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.</p>
<p>“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.</p>
<p>“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,” he said.</p>
