Nigerian music sensation Don Jazzy has officially welcomed 21-year-old singer and songwriter CupidSZN to the Mavin Records roster, marking a significant milestone in the young artist’s career. Known for his energetic blend of Afropop and Afrobeats, CupidSZN’s addition to the label is expected to inject fresh energy into Nigeria’s music scene.
The journey to Mavin Records began four years ago when CupidSZN’s father reached out to Don Jazzy, hoping to showcase his teenage son’s talent. Though the initial message went unnoticed due to the music mogul’s overflowing inbox, CupidSZN persisted, honing his craft and refining his sound. Two years later, his dedication paid off when he finally caught the attention of Mavin Records and was admitted into the Mavin Academy to further develop his skills.
Reflecting on the journey, Don Jazzy shared the story on social media: “4 years ago… a father who believed so much in his 17yr old talented son, sent me a DM to listen to his son’s music. Unfortunately, I didn’t see that message as my DM choke die. 2 yrs later, he didn’t give up… he kept developing himself and destiny still placed him on the path with Mavin. After excelling in the Mavin academy, he is now 21years old and ready to take on the next phase of his musical career. Allow me introduce you all to the newest Mavin artist @cupidfszn as he presents his Debut Ep MYTH ERA. OUT NOW.”
CupidSZN’s debut EP, Myth Era, signals the start of a new chapter in his musical journey. With tracks that blend rhythmic hooks, melodic Afropop tones, and expressive lyrics, the project reflects his growth as an artist and his readiness to make a mark on the industry.
In an Instagram post celebrating the milestone, CupidSZN expressed gratitude to those who supported him along the way. “It’s been a journey!!! I appreciate everyone who supported and believed in my craft from day 1. I’m here because of you and I won’t take any of it for granted,” he wrote.
He also thanked Don Jazzy for providing the platform to share his music: “Thank you @donjazzy for taking a chance on da kid and giving me an opportunity to tell the world my story.” He further acknowledged the sacrifices made by his family, adding, “Thanks to my Family for making the biggest sacrifice for me moving to Lagos with me.”
CupidSZN also gave credit to the Mavin team and his faith, saying, “Thanks to the best team @mavinrecords for making me a better version of myself. Thank you God for your Endless blessings in my life. Thank you for always showing me the way!!”
Before joining Mavin, CupidSZN had already made waves with singles such as Service (2024), I Want More (2025), and Osogeme featuring Wademix. His signing with one of Nigeria’s most influential labels, coupled with the release of Myth Era, positions him for even greater recognition both locally and internationally.
With CupidSZN now officially a Mavin artist, fans eagerly await the impact he will make in the Afropop and Afrobeats space. Myth Era serves as a bold introduction to a new era of music from the young talent, whose determination and skill have earned him a place among Nigeria’s rising stars.
This marks a pivotal moment in both CupidSZN’s career and Mavin Records’ ongoing mission to discover and cultivate the next generation of African music icons.
