Don Jazzy
The Nigerian Multi award-winning record producer, singer-songwriter,
musician, former CEO of Nigerian record label Mo’ Hits Records (founded
in 2004) is a very jovial and playful type to be with. This is evident
in the way he reacts to issues on his social media accounts…a tale of
some annoying followers on twitter and instagram. However, from our
inquisitive and ever-glaring eyes, the singer has shown a high level of
maturity when it comes to dealing with people.
The self styled, fashion conscious ‘Don Baba’ (as some of his
colleagues in the industry call him) was born exactly 32 years ago,
November 26, 1982. The Umuahia, Abia state born is an indigene of Delta
state.
