Just recently, another former Harmonize signee, Cheed narrated how he felt he had also been subjected to unfair treatment.
"After they terminated our contracts, we wanted to know why they did that and so, we went to seek help from Basata, National Arts Council."
"The contract says if you terminate the contract as an artiste, you are supposed to pay the record label Tsh 1 billion (Ksh 58 million) but if the management terminates the contract, they will pay you Tsh 10 million (Ksh 581,000)
"They wanted their cars back. And we wanted to take the right channels so we asked for help from Basata, because the cars are owned by the company and were part of the contract. But there was a certain small clause that said if you sign a contract with Harmonize Entertainment, all rights will be the company's"
So there are two things here, you get the 10 million and all your music becomes theirs. Or you get all your rights and not get a shilling from him.
We wanted to know why the contract was terminated carelessly.
