Veteran highlife musician, Joseph Amoah, also known as Adane Best, has revealed that he earns GHC1,500 annually in terms of royalties after being in the music industry for over three decades.
Gospel artists Cwesi Oteng and Akesse Brempong have also lamented over their inability to access royalties from GHAMRO.
Akesse Brempong last year revealed that he had never received any money in terms of royalties from GHAMRO since joining the organisation five years ago.
GHAMRO was established under Section 49 of the Copyright Law of 2005 and mandated with the collection and distribution of royalties on behalf of authors, composers and other rightsholders.
Speaking on the Asaase Breakfast Show on Wednesday (6 December) the Sisi Mame hit maker said he currently earns more from his performance both locally and abroad.
“I don’t want to talk about that, on average in a year, I earn about GHC1500, that is why I said I didn’t want to talk about it,” the veteran musician said.
“I have been performing here and there week in week out, this weekend I performed in Switzerland and people were there, it was a free show and I had my money,” he added.
