Mavin Records founder and ace music producer, Don Jazzy, has opened up about a personal aspect of his life he believes he might have sacrificed while building his career.
Speaking on the Echo Podcast, the 42-year-old revealed that marriage is one thing he never imagined he would miss out on at this stage of his life.
“I never thought I would be 40-something and not be married. Maybe that’s the one I lost. If it comes, it comes. If it doesn’t, I’m totally fine,” he said.
What if not music?
Don Jazzy reflected on alternative paths he might have pursued, saying he would likely still be in music or thriving as a social media influencer if he hadn’t become a music executive.
Despite remaining unmarried, the celebrated producer expressed contentment with his life, noting that mentoring stars like Tiwa Savage, Rema, and Ayra Starr brings him immense satisfaction.
His short-lived marriage
Before his rise to fame, Don Jazzy was briefly married to model and writer Michelle Jackson in 2003 while living in London. The marriage ended after two years due to his all-consuming passion for music.
In past interviews, he admitted that his career focus made it difficult to balance family life but described Michelle as a “beautiful soul,” adding that they remain on good terms.
