‘I Met My Wife at Mavin’ - Johnny Drille Reveals How Don Jazzy’s Record Label Changed His Love Life

Nigerian singer Johnny Drille has revealed the unexpected connection between his music career and his love life, disclosing that he met his wife while at Mavin Records.

The singer shared the interesting story while reflecting on his journey at the record label and how his time at Mavin eventually led him to the woman he would marry. According to Johnny Drille, their relationship began around 2018, but the couple managed to keep their romance away from the public eye for years.

“I met my wife at Mavin.”

The singer jokingly suggested that his life could have turned out very differently if he had never joined the label.

“If not for Mavin, I probably wouldn’t have a wife right now.”

Johnny Drille has previously humorously credited Don Jazzy and Mavin Records for playing a major role in bringing him and his wife together. For the singer, joining the label was therefore about much more than music and career growth, it unexpectedly introduced him to his future partner.

Interestingly, Johnny and his wife managed to keep their relationship extremely private despite his growing popularity. Their romance reportedly began in late 2018, but it was not until 2023 that the public discovered that the singer was already married.

Johnny Drille has always maintained a relatively private personal life, and his relationship was no exception. While fans followed his music career and watched him establish himself as one of Nigeria’s notable alternative and folk-pop artistes, many had no idea that he had been in a serious relationship for years.

The couple eventually made their marriage public in 2023, surprising many fans who had been unaware of the relationship. Later that year, the couple welcomed their first child, a daughter, further marking a new chapter in their family life.

What started as a professional relationship with a record label eventually became the place where he met his life partner. And looking back at it all, the singer appears convinced that joining Mavin was one of the best decisions he ever made.
