Mavin Records (also known as the Supreme Mavin Dynasty)[1] is a Nigerian corporation and record label founded by record producer and recording artist Don Jazzy on 8 May 2012. The label's inception came to fruition following the closure of Mo' Hits Records, a record label owned by the aforementioned producer and D'banj.[2] The label is home to recording artists such as Rema, Ayra Starr, Crayon, Johnny Drille, Ladipoe, Magixx, Boy Spyce, Bayanni, and Lifesize Teddy. It also houses producers such as Jazzy himself, Altims, London, Baby Fresh, and Andre Vibez.[3][4] In 2014, DJ Big N became the label's official disc jockey.[5] Tiwa Savage, Wande Coal, Reekado Banks and Iyanya were all formerly signed to the label.[6] On 8 May 2012, the label released its compilation album Solar Plexus.[7] In January 2019, Mavin Records secured a multi-million dollars investment from Kupanda Holdings, a subsidiary of Kupanda Capital and TPG Growth.[8]
In 2020, Billboard Magazine named Mavin's as one of the Gatekeepers of the Nigerian music industry.[9]
