In
an attempt to quell speculation, prominent Nigerian singer, Iyanya has
confirmed his exit from the Don Jazzy-led Mavin Records, adding that he
is signed solely to Temple Music.
TheKukere crooner made this disclosure known during an interview with Beat FM in Lagos on Wednesday, February 7, 2018.
When
asked to comment on his current record label, Iyanya said: “I’m now
signed to Temple Music but I’m a Mavin for life. It was not a beef. I
was there and it was time to move on.”
In October
2016, when Iyanya joined Mavin, Temple Music was not
in existence. His
affairs were handled by Temple Management Company.
Temple Music was launched in August 2017, with 9ice, Bisola Aiyeola, DJ Jimmy Jatt, named among the pioneer artistes.
Speaking further during the Beat FM interview, Iyanya explained why there’s been a “dramatic change” in his sound.
“I like to try new sounds,” he said, and attributed the change to “working with different producers, writers.”
“The
fan base has grown; I have fans here and abroad. Some people like the
new sound but some people are stuck in the old sound. Shout out to Don
Jazzy. He influenced my new sound,” he said.
Iyanya also acknowledged Don Jazzy for helping with the evolution of his music.
“Shout out to Don Jazzy. He influenced my new sound,” he said.
