Iyanya Mbuk says he is signed
solely to Temple Music, confirming his speculated exit from the Don Jazzy-led
Mavin Records.
The singer made the disclosure
Wednesday morning during an interview on Beat FM.
When asked to comment on his
current record label, Iyanya said: “I’m now signed to Temple Music but I’m a
Mavin for life.
Harping on the circumstances
surrounding his departure from Mavin, he said, “It was not a beef. I was there
and it was time to move on”.
When Iyanya joined Mavin in
October 2016, Temple Music was not in existence. His affairs were handled by
Temple Management Company.
At the time, the singer said he
made the move to become a better singer and to work with ace producer Don
Jazzy.
Temple Music was launched in
August 2017, with 9ice, Bisola Aiyeola, DJ Jimmy Jatt, named among the pioneer
artistes.
Speaking further during the Beat
FM interview, Iyanya explained why there’s been a “dramatic change” in his
sound.
“I like to try new sounds,” he
said and attributed the change to “working with different producers, writers.
The fan base has grown, I have fans here and abroad.
“Some people like the new sound
but some people are stuck in the old sound.”
Iyanya credited Don Jazzy for
helping with the evolution of his music. “Shout out to Don Jazzy. He influenced
my new sound,” he said.
In an interview, Dr Sid praised
Iyanya’s work ethic, and described him as “the best thing to happen to Mavin
Records”.
At the time, he said Iyanya had
“recorded over 50 songs in less than three months”.
In 2017, Iyanya released
‘Signature’, an eight-track EP which included songs like ‘Up 2 Something’ and
‘Hold On’.
‘Signature’ was produced by Don
Jazzy and two other producers on Mavin’s roster; Altims and Baby Fresh.
