Popular music producer and Mavin Records boss, Michael Collins Ajereh, better known as Don Jazzy, has revealed that parting ways with former label artiste, Di’ja, remains one of the toughest moments of his career.
Speaking during a recent episode of the Crea8torium podcast, Don Jazzy recounted the emotional experience, admitting that it was difficult for him because he sees every artist under his label as family.
According to him, the atmosphere during the conversation was tense, and Di’ja herself noticed how uncomfortable he was while the decision was being discussed.
“One of the most difficult decisions of my career was when I had to let Di’ja go. That was difficult, and I don’t think I will let any artist go again by myself. Tega and Rima handle that now if they need somebody to leave the label,” he said.
The music executive explained that the emotional bond he shares with his artists made the moment even harder for everyone involved.
“Everybody on my record label is like my child. So, that was hard for both of us. And she [Di’ja] knew that it was hard for me. She even questioned the guys in the room why they had to involve me in that. All of us started crying. It was hard,” Don Jazzy recalled.
Di’ja officially joined Mavin Records on February 14, 2014, and went on to release several hit singles and an EP under the label between 2014 and 2017.
