Iyanya signs a record deal with Mavin records

The Nigerian pop star, in a shock unexpected move, has inked a deal with the Don Jazzy-owned record label, after splitting from his music company, Made Men Music Group.


Writing on his Instagram page, Don Jazzy says "The SUPREME MAVIN DYNASTY is pleased to welcome Iyanya to the ever growing Mavin Family. Please join us to welcome him and let the world know that we ‘Up2Sumting’. MavinActivated."

The deal which has been sealed, signals a new turn for the singer who has spent the past 6 years running his record label, in partnership with his manager and partner, Ubi Franklin.

“I'll be launching my new label and new album soon”, the singer wrote on Instagram in July.


The new contract with Iyanya is unfamiliar territory for Don Jazzy. The music business mogul has spent decades signing young unproven talents and nurturing them into stars.
