<h1>The leading record label in Nigeria, Mavin Records has signed another talented act to its roster.</h1>

<p>In May, the Don Jazzy led label announced the signing of Crayon. </p>

<p><em>“We are pleased to announce our new imprint deal with Baby Fresh's Blowtime Entertainment as we unveil our new artist, Crayon.</em></p>

<p><em>“Baby Fresh has always been part of the Mavin family and we look forward to what is shaping up to be a remarkable stage of his amazing career. Crayon is an exceptional songwriter and recording artist who comes with a lot of diversity in his music and I am sure that we will attain great things together”</em> said Don Jazzy during the announcement. </p>

<p>Crayon is the new face of Afrobeats; he brings street experiences. He’s inspired by <strong>Fela, Drake, Justin Bieber, Bryson Tiller, Wizkid </strong>and<strong> Davido.</strong> He has a fresh sound: colorful music blend of pop and local groove. </p>

<p><em>'Colorful'</em> is the keyword - he merges elements of pop, afro-oriented sound, Latino music, and Carribean sounds into his artistry. The riches in lustre that can be felt in his music is why he is called, 'Crayon.'</p>

<p>He was featured on the June 2019 <strong>MAVIN </strong>single, <em>'All Is In Order' </em>- his first-ever video shoot. On that experience, he said, "<em>It’s ‘cray’ to be on the same song as Jazzy, a dream come true for real. Everybody knows who Jazzy is. He’s the leader, the boss, the king."</em></p>

<p>Crayon comes in a family of four; his parents, his younger brother, and Crayon, himself. He grew in Iba, Lagos. </p>

<p>Constantly filling notebooks with lyrics and jumping at the first chance he got to record in a studio, he met his friend and collaborator, <strong>Ozedikus</strong>, a music producer who crafted Rema's <em>'Dumebi.' </em></p>

<p>By chance, <strong>Baby Fresh</strong> heard one of those early tracks and instantly knew Crayon had the potential to become a force in Afrobeats. </p>

<h2>What does the road look like for Crayon from here? </h2>

<p>Crayon is visibly hungry for success. He says, <em>“I want to put my community on the map. I’ll be the first artist to really break out of Iba, and that means a lot to me. When I started making music I was just a kid. I’m crazy excited to share my music and be a part of this moment when Afrobeats is going global.</em></p>

<p><em>"My aim is to reach as many people as possible with my sound, positive vibes, and energy."</em></p>

<p>With the glimpse we saw on '<em>All In Order,'</em> it seems as he could truly excel at the level he hopes he would. He has since released his debut EP, <a data-link-role-code="none" href="https://www.pulse.ng/entertainment/music/ep-review-pulse-does-a-breakdown-of-cray-cray-by-crayon/9rkxwhz" target="_blank">Cray Cray. </a></p>
