Nigerian music executive and record producer Don Jazzy has advised musicians in the country to overcome personal differences and prioritise collaboration, arguing that a stronger culture of teamwork is essential to the continued development of the music industry.
The Mavin Records founder shared his views during an appearance on the On The Grind podcast, where he expressed concern about the apparent decline in collaborative efforts among Nigerian artistes.
According to him, some musicians allow pride and personal interests to prevent them from working with other talented individuals, a situation he believes could limit their creative and professional growth.
Don Jazzy maintained that being exceptionally talented does not eliminate the need to work with others, stressing that no musician can achieve everything independently.
He encouraged artistes to recognise the advantages of combining different creative abilities, whether in songwriting, music production, vocal performances or other aspects of music-making.
The music executive also reflected on his own career, explaining that collaboration has remained an important part of his professional journey from the beginning.
He said he built much of his experience in the industry by working with other musicians and producers, adding that his appreciation for teamwork has not diminished over the years.
Don Jazzy stated, “Most of Nigerian artists need to drop their pride, grow up and understand that no man is an island. A tree cannot make a forest.”
He further acknowledged that some musicians possess multiple abilities, including singing, writing and producing, but insisted that such versatility should not discourage them from exploring partnerships with others.
The producer's position reflects his longstanding approach to music development, particularly through Mavin Records, which has provided opportunities for several Nigerian artistes to work together and develop their individual sounds.
Don Jazzy established Mavin Records in 2012 following the dissolution of Mo’ Hits Records, the label he co-founded with Nigerian singer D'Banj.
Since its establishment, Mavin Records has been associated with the development of several successful music acts, including Tiwa Savage, Korede Bello, Reekado Banks, Rema, Ayra Starr and Johnny Drille.
Through the label, Don Jazzy has continued to contribute to the Nigerian music scene by discovering emerging talents, overseeing music projects and encouraging creative partnerships.
His latest comments come amid ongoing conversations about competition, individual recognition and relationships among Nigerian entertainers.
The producer believes musicians stand to achieve more when they share ideas, combine their strengths and create opportunities for one another rather than allowing ego to interfere with professional relationships.
