Harrysong who is signed to Kcee's Fivestar music and wrote Kcee's
limpopo told Punch that these days he charges as much as 1 million naira
to
write a song..He also said he made over 50M from MTN callerback tunes for his "Mandela song"That's good oh!
“Before now we charged between N100, 000 and N2000, 000 for a song. Today I charge as much as 1million to write a song.
Truth is, Nigerian artistes have begun to appreciate songwriters. They
pay me my money and appreciate me. I have written a lot of songs but I
don’t talk about them because Nigerian artistes don’t like it when the
songwriters take credit for composing songs for them.”
The proceeds from the caller-back tune is actually worth more than
N50m. Truth is, I was paid a lot of money; you know - when they say
money that can change someone’s life. That’s the value of what I
received .I can’t reveal the exact amount because we work as a team. So,
all the money realised is shared among us. You just want to forget all
the years of suffering. It’s not a mere hype because the money is there.
The song is everywhere. You go to South-Africa , the girls are crazy
about it."
