Music is not paying: most of us are doing it because of the passion: D Cryme

Ghanaian Hip-life artist, D Cryme, has stated that he and many other musicians are just doing music because of the passion they have for it, and not for the financial benefits.

According to him, there is little or no returns at all in the music business: they invest a lot and get nothing in return.

“What is going on in the music industry is that you put in a lot to get your work out there but you get nothing in return or you get a little. It takes a lot of work for an artiste to produce and shoot a video for a song; in the 2000s it was ok, music was worth pursuing but now it is not at all,” he told Graphic Showbiz.”

The “Kill Me Shy” hit maker also added that a lot of artistes are still doing music because of the passion they have for it and not because of the financial rewards.

“Most of the guys you see out there are doing this because of the passion they have for the work and not what they will get financially, I know people who have hung up their music boots because of this,” he added.

D Cryme who is celebrating 10 years in the music business came into the limelight when he dropped his first single “Kill Me Shy”. He has since dropped other singles and an EP called “Unexpected”.
