“Drop your egos!” Don Jazzy urges Nigerian artists

Nigerian record producer and music executive Michael Collins Ajereh, popularly known as Don Jazzy, has spoken on the need for collaboration among Nigerian artists, urging them to let go of their egos.

The record label boss, in an episode of On The Grind podcast, expressed his concerns over the sharp drop in collaboration among Nigerian artists.

Jazzy explained that the trend is dangerous for the Nigerian music industry, stressing that a tree can’t make a forest.

“Most of Nigerian artists need to drop their pride, grow up and understand that no man is an island. A tree cannot make a forest. If you are so talented and versatile and can write, produce and sing, kudos to you. But still, you need to collaborate. I am a fan of collaboration. I came into this business collaborating with people and I am forever going to keep collaborating. I understand the importance of collaboration,” he said.
