In 2012, music master Don Jazzy launched Mavin Records, a record label destined to change the game. Fast forward to yesterday, when Mavin Records celebrated 12 years of being a major force in African music entertainment.
The label’s rise has been nothing short of impressive. Building on the success of Mo Hits Records, Don Jazzy had a clear vision for Afrobeats’ future. Mavin Records became a breeding ground for talented artists, producers, and industry professionals. It has been shaping Afrobeats not just as a genre but as an entire industry.
Over the years, Mavin Records has been home to both legendary and up-and-coming artists. It launched the careers of Tiwa Savage, Wande Coal, and Korede Bello in the early 2010s. Additionally, Mavin Records nurtures the talents of today’s stars, like Rema, Ayra Starr, Ladipoe, Johnny Drille, Crayon, Bayanni, Boy Spyce, Lifesize Teddy and DJ Big N. The label has a proven track record of discovering and developing stars.

In 2022, they added talented producers and songwriters to their team, like Andre Vibez, Jvxn, Mbryo, and Milar. This ensures they have all the creative pieces in place to make fantastic music.
Looking ahead, Mavin Records shows no signs of slowing down. Through their innovative Mavin Future Five programme, they’re actively shaping the next generation of music industry leaders. By providing mentorship and real-world experience, they’re building a strong foundation for the future of Afrobeats and the entire music industry.
