Gisthouse Unveil Activities To Celebrate Don Jazzy’s Emergence As Afrocentric Icon for January 2023
Gisthouse, the first Afrocentric multimedia conversation platform that rewards users for having great conversations has unveiled a long list of activities to celebrate music producer and performer, Micheal Collins Ajereh popular as Don Jazzy.
This follows the music executive’s emergence as Gisthouse’s Black African Icon for January 2023.
Don Jazzy, the founder of Mavin Records was named BLACK AFRICAN ICON-OF-THE MONTH of January 2023 at a press conference held recently in Nebraska, Omaha, USA.
According to Dr. Ope Banwo, Gisthouse’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and founder, Don Jazzy was selected out of dozens of other worthy African icons.
He noted that Don Jazzy was selected for his lifetime body of work and contributions to elevating the music industry globally in the context of the Afrocentric experience.
Furthermore, he added that Don Jazzy was selected after a selection voting exercise by Gisthouse platform users and management, with consideration for the most outstanding black Africans.
He said; “We are most excited and privileged to announce Michael Collins Ajereh also known as Don Jazzy, a colossus of music in Africa as the Afrocentric Icon for January 2023.
“Don Jazzy has not only excelled as a record producer, performer, and music executive, he pioneered a whole new genre of music and style of music performance with his iconic MoHits and Marvin Records music labels.
“While Don Jazzy didn’t start international cross-over music in Africa, he brought a delightful new swagger, panache, and an amazing financially rewarding dimension into African music with his unforgettable partnership with the inimitable D’banj in MoHits Records, among others. After Mohits, he took his pioneering talent to a higher level with Marvin Records and gave us instant superstars like the sultry Tiwa Savage, super crooner Wande Coal, Dr. Sid, and Korede Bello among others.
“Beyond establishing himself as a superstar music producer/performer, Don Jazzy has also mentored and helped a whole generation of Africans to turn their talents as musicians into a full-time occupation and impactful vocation.”
