Don Jazzy said in an interview with online portal, thenetng.com, that what happened in the last few weeks was a great leap, and he was quite upbeat about the label’s prospects.

“It has been a moving trend from Mo’Hits to Mavin. The only thing that has changed is the name and the addition of new people, and basically we will keep moving,” said the famous beatmaker.

On the unveiling of Afro-pop diva Tiwa Savage, as first female act on his imprint, Don Jazzy noted that the unveiling of the sexy singer has been a deliberate plan.

“Tiwa Savage and I have been talking about adding a female artiste to Mo’Hits Records for a long time now…We knew from day one when she came into this country that this was going to happen but at that point she was not ready. I have to encourage her to go ahead and make some things for herself which she did wonderfully as an artiste. Now there is room for an addition and so we are continuing from where we stopped,” he revealed.
