“I started my label when I was 19 and I ran the label for 4 years without collecting one dime from my artist.” Davido
“My label was more like a family to me, I was young when I started my label. To me, I was just happy putting my boy on the spotlight. I ran a label for 4 years and I didn’t take one dime from my artist. I was paying for videos, I was paying for accomodation, I was paying for welfare. I was just happy seeing that my success could rub up on other people, and that was more than money for me. But afrobeats got to a place where it’s global so I had to explain to the artist that in these days, music is business and we have to use some of their royaltîes as investment.” Davido
It’s all about carrying everyone along. Let your success be a blessing to another, it’s not always all about the money
