Don Jazzy has carved a path in the music industry over the last three decades that has earned him a net worth of $52 million and status of richest musician in Nigeria 2023.

Mo-Hits Records, which he co-founded with Oladapo Daniel Oyebanjo, also known as Dbanj, contributed significantly to the accumulation of Don Jazzy’s fortune.

Don Jazzy produced the entirety of Wande Coal’s Mushin 2 Mo’ Hits, one of the best selling debut albums of all time. He also produced and co-wrote D’banj’s Oliver Twist , which is the first successful cross-border hit in Nigerian history.

In the streaming era, Rema’s Calm Down which is the most streamed Nigerian song on YouTube and Spotify, was also
released under Don Jazzy’s Mavin brand.
