Mavin Records is a revamped Nigerian-based record label founded by recording artist and record producer Michael Collins Ajereh on May 8, 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. The label is home to recording artists such as Tiwa Savage, Dr SID, D' Prince, Di’ja, Reekado, and Korede Bello. The label also houses a roster of producers such as Jazzy himself, Altims, and Baby Fresh.^[3]Wande Coal was formerly signed to the label. On May 8, 2012, the label released a compilation album titled Solar Plexus.

Mavin Records started as a result of D'banj's departure from Mo Hits. According to Bellanaija, the term 'Mavin' describes someone who is gifted and skilled in any field. Upon establishing the rebranded record label, Don Jazzy said that he sees Mavin Records being the power house of Music in Africa in the shortest possible time. After re-branding Mo' Hits to Mavin, Don Jazzy signed Nigerian recording artist Tiwa Savage. Pulse reported that Don Jazzy admires the singer's work ethic and drive. Pulse also reported that Mavin Records signed Aluko Altims Timothy and Sunday BabyFresh Enejere to the label.

On May 7, 2012, the record label launched their official website, and introduced their fans to the Mavin league (a social network designed to cater to their fans worldwide). Don Jazzy signed endorsement deals with Samsung and Loya Milk after establishing the label. Tiwa also signed an endorsement deal with Pepsi.

Within a year of becoming a revamped brand, The Mavins released "Take Banana" and "Oma Ga" as singles off their debut compilation album. On May 01, 2014, the collective released "Dorobucci" to critical acclaim.
