Don Jazzy: ‘Johnny Drille Is Best The Musician, Nobody Like Him In Nigerian Music Industry’

Nigerian record producer and music executive, Michael Collins Ajereh, popularly known as Don Jazzy has crowned singer, Johnny Drille as the best musician in the Nigerian music industry.

It was reported that Don Jazzy said Johnny Drille has no rival in the Nigerian music industry in a recent episode of the Crea8torium podcast.

The Mavin boss said that Johnny Drille’s music is unique and that he is versatile.

“If you look at the Nigerian music industry right now, there is nobody like Johnny Drille,” he said. He is a world of his own. He’s like the best musician. The best musician I know. He is flexible. He writes and sings and mixes. He does all the things.

“And he’s also a fantastic performer, the way he sounds in the studio is how he sounds in live shows.

Meanwhile, Nigerian female sensational singer, Tiwa Savage, has spoken about the struggles she encountered when she switched from R&B to Afrobeats after her return to Nigeria in 2012.

The Nigerian music industry has expanded so rapidly that Tiwa Savage began her career overseas as a backup singer for artists such as George Michael and Mary J before returning to Nigeria and signing with Mavin Records.

Tiwa Savage, in an interview with TVC, said she was able to transition from R&B to Afrobeats because her former label boss, Don Jazzy, made her believe that talent is unlimited.

The ‘Kele Kele Love’ crooner said Don Jazzy opened her mind to a lot of different things and made her believe she can do anything if she focused on it.

Tiwa Savage also says she has no regrets about coming back to Nigeria and switching from R&B to Afrobeats.
