Steps to Joining Mavin Records Label 

Here are the right steps to get signed by Don Jazzy:

1. Talent might not just be all you need

Obviously, there are thousands of people out there that have the musical talent and they also want to make it in music just like you!

The cutting edge above others is uniqueness! He clearly stated, “… sieving through the noise and finds the artists that fit me”.

You should be able to stand out from the crowd, and definitely you’ll be recognised.

Other qualities include artistry, creativity, commitment, patience, and so many others.

2. Build your fan base

A label is much more likely to sign an artist with an existing appreciable fan base compared to those with none.

Of course, they want you to add value to their brand.

It is important to note that getting signed by a record label is an investment and nobody will sign an artist that he’s not sure he will earn money from.

In the modern music industry, however, it is easier to release your music and build a music career without the backing of a record label, especially with the aid of the internet.

You can also build your fan base through the use of social media by regularly making freestyle videos of trending music.

3. Market Yourself

Gone are the days when record labels were the only tool necessary for artists to succeed and get established.

Nowadays, you can still make it as an independent artist.

Get yourself out there as much as possible, market your music, and establish yourself in the music industry.

This would go a long way to help build your CV, in case you wish to contact the multi-million dollar record label, thus giving you an edge over others.

4. Make music that matches Mavin Records

You don’t expect to be signed by Don Jazzy when your music sounds like that of Naira Marley.

In that quoted statement, Don Jazzy clearly pointed out, “… and finds the artists that fit me”.

You don’t obviously need to sound like any of them because you’re not them, but your music should fit into the music they produce.

5. Social media is an inevitable tool

A careful study of the members of Mavin Records label shows that most of their artists were discovered through social media.

Rema was discovered on Instagram from a freestyle video of Prince record, ‘Gucci Gang’, which featured Davido and Don Jazzy.

Ayra Starr was also discovered on Instagram, and the list goes on and on.

The good thing about this method is that you don’t need too much of the fame, you just need to give Mavin Records a reason they should come for you.

Obviously, if you want to easily join the Mavin Records label, social media is an indispensable tool.

6. Don’t run to them just yet

Do you know the many people who contact Mavin Records?

Most up-and-coming artists make the mistake of running to Mavin Records, simply because they have the talent, seriously?

How do you expect to be signed amid many others who have the money and also have the talent?

Unsolicited demos really don’t work anymore, the chances of it working are just too slim.

Record labels like Mavin Records do not just sign artists because they have the talent, otherwise, they would have hundreds of artists by now.

In fact, contacting them should be your last resort, when you must have built your fan base and perhaps a little fame.

Those are the only things that can help you stand out from the many others and as well give you a cutting edge over others.

Joining Mavin Records Label with the aid of Social Media

• Follow Mavin Records staff on their various social handles, especially its CEO (Don Jazzy): Clearly, Facebook shouldn’t be an option here. Your best bet is Instagram/or Twitter.
• You should be able to make quality freestyle videos of popular and trending musics and don’t forget to tag them.
• With your already built fan base, your freestyle video might actually trend and you may get recommended to the boss.
• Be as serious about your freestyle videos as you would if it were to be an audition.
• Show your artistry and be unique; something that can stand you out from the crowd. You don’t have to be the best. Let them know you can offer something different.
