Maestro Don signs with Gyptian’s label
Since his split from his former management team in 2015, dancehall artiste Maestro Don has been attacking music as an independent artiste. Although he had been finding relative success on his own, the artiste figured it was time to get himself new management and struck a deal with Gyptian’s Right Direction record label.
As he is hoping to move his career in the right direction, the artiste dubbed the partnership a no-brainer and urges music lovers to watch out as he aims to take his rightful place among dancehall’s top acts.
