Without D'Banj, I Would Have Been A Waste, He Made Me-- Don Jazzy

Don Jazzy and D'Banj

The name Don Jazzy today surely commands some respect in the Nigerian showbiz world. A decade ago, when such name is mentioned, questions would arise about who and what does the name mean.

Like that tiny tear in a cloth that was never quickly stitched, Don Jazzy expanded and took many by storm in the entertainment industry to the extent that there is nothing anyone can do about him anymore. To some industry icons he used to see as 'big thing' in the game, this multiple award-winning producer has surpassed them.

Not wanting the Yoruba proverbial saying that 'the river that forgets its source would get dried up', Don Jazzy went online to give honour to those due, especially those who have influenced his booming career.

After paying his first respect to 2Face, he stated about JJC when he posted, "Kudos to JJC for without him, I would still be doing 'tungba' (local) music. [I am] not saying that it (tungba music) is not good. But I found out I was better doing something else."

Turning to D'Banj, Don Jazzy has this to say, "KUDOS to my bro, D'Banj for without him, my production skills I gathered from JJC might have been a waste. Dude made me Don Jazzy."

He went ahead to honour Wande Coal, D'Prince and others including his Federal Government College, Ijanikin, Lagos pals.
