ENTERPRISE54 – Michael Ajereh, widely known as Don Jazzy, needs no introduction. The award winning Nigerian hit music producer has partnered with 440.ng to become a mentor for the maiden edition of its accelerator program in Lagos, Nigeria.

Don Jazzy will be joining other 440.ng mentors, including top entrepreneurs and business executives, to provide guidance and practical advice to startups that will be receiving between $20,000 and $110,000 during the 440.ng accelerator program starting in September.

Why Don Jazzy?

He has shown that even in a harsh operating environment like Nigeria, it is possible to build and run a successful business. Within three years of co-founding Mo Hits Records alongside ONE ambassador Dapo Oyebanji a.k.a D’Banj, it became the most successful record label in Nigeria, with chart-topping artistes such as D’banj, Wande Coal, Dr. Sid and others.

Despite the outstanding success of Mo Hits Records, Don Jazzy and his co-founder fell out and eventually shut down the business. Nevertheless, Don Jazzy, an exceptional talent spotter, moved on to start another successful business, Mavin Records, which has best-selling artistes such as Tiwa Savage, Dr. Sid, D’Prince and others.
