Harmonize’s former record label signee Cheed has explained how he felt an unfair treatment when the singer decided to terminate his contract.
In an interview with Clouds FM, Cheed explained.
“After they terminated our contracts, we wanted to know why they did that and so, we went to seek heldp 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)
Cheed said the national arts council said that was unfair and that he was supposed to be paid Tsh 100 million (ksh 5.8 million) and not Tsh 10 million (ksh 581,000)
He added;
“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.
Cheed decided to leave the money and take the rights to his musical work
