According to him, Johnny Drille is not only a singer but also a writer, producer, and performer whose studio recordings match his live performances.
“If you look at the Nigerian music industry right now, there is nobody like Johnny Drille. He is in a world of his own. He is like the best musician — the complete musician that I know. He is versatile. He mixes, writes, sings. He does everything,” Don Jazzy said.
“He is also an amazing performer — the way he sounds in the studio is the same way he sounds in live shows,” he added.
