Founded by Don Jazzy on May 8, 2012, Mavin Records is Africa's biggest music label and home to some of Afrobeat's best and most famed artistes, producers, and music industry professionals. Finding roots in Mo'Hits Record- the defining African label of the early 2000s, also owned by Don Jazzy and D'Banj- Mavin Records is a hybrid of the legacy of that era and Don Jazzy's vision for the future of Afrobeat.
Mavin has recorded tremendous success since its emergence. Currently the label boasts of an expansive roster that is home to multi-talented serial hitmakers such as Johnny Drille, Ladipoe, Rema, Ayra Starr, Crayon, Magixx and Boy Spyce amongst others. The label was also once home to Tiwa Savage, Wande Coal, Korede Bello, Reekado Banks and Iyanya.
In January 2019, Mavin Records secured a multi-million dollar investment from Kupanda Holdings, a subsidiary of Kupanda Capital and TPG Growth. This led to the company's transition from a traditional record company typically known as Mavin Records to Mavin Global- a multifaceted entertainment company with global ambitions. On the back of this vision, the company has expanded into providing innovative services such as partnerships, content production, publishing and marketing.
Now in its 10th year, and as the digital era continues to refashion the way we do things, Mavin’s taste for delivering the utmost value has inspired a new wave of innovation as it continues to push African creativity and excellence to the world. The label continues to leverage on its storied history and current potential to produce the next vanguard of Afrobeats greats.
