Mavin Records is home to SID, Tiwa Savage, D’Prince, Reekado Banks, Korede Bello and Di’Ja. In 2015, under the watchful eyes of the label’s head and supper producer, Donjazzy, we witnessed the growth of Reekado Banks, Korede Bello and Di’Ja and we were blessed with hit songs.
Godwin, Jantamata, Katapot, Aww, Oga Titus were hit released under the label in 2015. Donjazzy also blessed other artistes with hit songs in the year.
