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."
