I never received royalties from GHAMRO – Noble Nketsiah
Gospel Musician Nobel Nketia has revealed he has not received any royalties from the Ghana Music Rights Organisation (GHAMRO) in the 21 years he has been in the industry.
In an interview on OMY TV, Noble revealed that he signed with the revenue collection body early in his career; however, after they failed to give him any royalties, he did not check in with them again.
Noble Nketsiah said in an interview that at the time, there were not many systems in place to ensure musicians, songwriters, and other right owners are duly paid for their craft.
He explained that many artists had to focus on other avenues to make money with their music.
Noble Nketsiah noted that he has plans to check in with GHAMRO, especially since they have revamped their revenue collections system.
This comes after the former Chairman of the Ghana Music Rights Organisation (GHAMRO) revealed on Tuesday that Shatta Wale received immense royalties in 2021.
According to him, the ‘Melissa’ hitmaker had over ¢30,000 in royalties. That, he said, is the highest amount of money GHAMRO has given out in its history.
Noble Nketsiah believes that the ¢30,000 is not the cumulative amount of royalties Shatta Wale has earned in time in the industry.
The gospel musician believes GHAMRO can hardly recover monies from pastime; however, with the new system, artists may be paid more now than before.
He added that some artists may still earn as little as ¢400 despite the improvement.
Watch him speak in the video below.
