"I charge N1m to write a song now"-Harrysong

Harrysong who is signed to Kcee's 5star 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"

here is what he says



"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."
