The multi-talented content creator explained that she decided to venture into music because she believed it would be more fitting to incorporate her own songs into her skits, rather than relying on music from other artists. In her words; “For me, entertainment is freedom. You can do anything. I also like the fact that it’s my music. It’s my song. It’s a song that I can be proud that I made. I just feel like, I’m using other people’s songs [in my skits], and this thing is not so hard. I have a studio, we can record songs. “I love music. Some people used to say I have [a melodic] voice. But, I feel like, instead of me trying to sing, we can do collaborations and make something happen.”

Happy birthday Mavin.” Fans of Mavin Records also joined in the celebration, expressing their love for the record label and its signees.
