High-life musician Kwaisey Pee, has revealed a story where he was paid GH¢100 by the Ghana Music Rights Organization (GHAMRO) as royalty.
“Those times I was given GH¢100 cheque to go to the bank and withdraw. That is ridiculous because if you look at the idea, time and energy I put in my work, and you come claiming your royalties and they give you GH¢100, it’s so disheartening,”he said.
He compared the royalty payment system in Ghana to that of Europe and said that the European countries pay better.

“When I was in Europe, I had the chance to sign a contract with a distribution label. All my songs are on ITunes and stuff where I get my quarterly revenue,” he added.
He was quizzed about the largest amount he has derived from royalties and he said “The last and most money I received from GHAMRO is GH¢1, 200 and that was even several years back.”
