Ghanaian highlife artiste, Kwaisey Pee, has highlighted the ineffectiveness of the musical associations in Ghana by reflecting an instance where he was paid GH¢100 by the Ghana Music Rights Organization (GHAMRO) as royalty.

The musician expressed his disappointment to have been paid such a meager amount by the organization despite the amount of hard work and efforts he has invested in his music career in his own country. Revealing his earnings from digital platforms such as iTunes and so, he asked the organizations to do better with the way they regulate the royalties.

“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 during an interview with Lemy Lomotey on 'Lalafio'.

“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 concluded.

He disclosed that the largest amount he has received as royalties cannot even pay for his basic amenities.

"The last and most money I received from GHAMRO is GH¢1,200 and that was even several years back.” He admitted.
