Nov 8, 2017: Iyanya may quit Don Jazzy’s Mavin records anytime soon.
Iyanya joined Mavin records a year ago, but the Kukere master, whose decision to join the Mavins was hinged on his determination to revive his fading music career and possibly commercialise it, now appears to be struggling to find his voice in the star-studded record label.
There are many money-spinning voices in Mavins, and Iyanya knew he had to work twice harder to make his voice heard. He may have had hit songs before making the switch from Made Men Music, but repeating the same feat that made his music the toast of many has not been an easy task.
Iyanya’s career does not appear to have grown or made any major appreciable progress since he teamed up with Don Jazzy.
While artistes like Reekado Banks, Tiwa Savage, Korede Bello and newly signed Johnny Drille have had a big year, same cannot be said of Iyanya.
