Don Jazzy, Laolu Akins and Nelson Brown.
Now how do we explain this invaluable photo? Three generations of music producers, the best of their time!
At the Nigerian Entertainment Conference (which held on Friday, April 26, 2013), three generations of super producers met up – Pop monster beat maker Don Jazzy, revered music producer Laolu Akins and late 90′s music maestro Nelson Brown.
Laolu Akins (full name Olaoluwa Oluwole Akintobi) says he kicked off his career in music around 1972. He is credited to be one of the very few who commercialized music production with multi platinum like Shina Peters’ ‘Ace‘ and Shinamania as well as Adewale Ayuba’s Bubble to his credit. He also produced for the likes of Onyeka Onwenu and may others
Nelson Brown (real name Nelson Omoiri) who kicked off his career in the 80′s helped create some of the best Pop hits of the 90s. From studios in FESTAC, Apapa and Lekki, all in Lagos, Brown produced for the likes of Sunny Neji, Daddy Showkey, Baba Fryo, Sound Sultan and notably the Plantashun Boiz (2face, Black Face and Faze). He won the AMEN Award for best producer in 1998.
Don Jazzy (real name Michael Collins) started making his name in 2004, returning from the UK and partnering with Pop star D’banj. Don Jazzy went on to produce some of the biggest tunes of this era with the Mo’Hits dynasty. He also scored mega hits producing for the likes of Weird MC (Ijoya), Ikechukwu (Wind am well, Critical) and others.
‘This is one of my most cherished pics now. Was humbled being in the presence of these great men‘, Don Jazzy wrote about meeting with Akins and Brown.
