“Before Now I Charged Between N100, 000 and N2000, 000 For a Song. Today I Charge As Much as 1million to Write a Song" Harrysong

Popular Singer song writer Harrysong aka Mr Songz lays it bare. After switching to KCee's 5Star Music, he says life couldn't be better and he has decided to start charging 1 million naira for each song he writes. He told The Punch:

“Before now we (songwriters) 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 realized 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.”
