Veteran music executive and Mavin Records boss, Don Jazzy, has expressed regret over his decision not to sign some artistes.
Admitting to moments of admiration and missed opportunities in his career, Don Jazzy revealed he regrets not signing talented singers Simi and Teni, both of whom he greatly admires.
He also disclosed that he once had the chance to sign superstar Davido but chose not to, believing Davido was destined for greatness regardless.
Reflecting on his near miss with rapper Falz, Don Jazzy said a deal almost materialised but didn’t go through.
Speaking further, he explained that he would have also signed Wizkid, but the singer was already under the management of another executive at the time.
Don Jazzy concluded by acknowledging the reality of the industry: “You can’t sign everybody, no matter how talented they are.”
He said, “I like Simi. I didn’t sign her. I wish I did. I like Teni. I wish I did. I had the opportunity for Davido, obviously, but I didn’t because I kind of figured that he would be fine. To Wizkid, obviously, I couldn’t because Banky got to him first. That would have been amazing. Falz, I love his work, and we almost actually had a deal. Well, it didn’t work out. But then at the end of the day, you cannot sign everybody.”
