How Do Skiza Benefit Kenyan Artists

In my recent post, I gave the procedure that one would follow when registering their music for skiza tune services.
Successful registration of your music to skiza tune services will be of importance in the following ways;

1. Earning of Royalties
If you are working on your music, you will need some personal initiative to overcome the assumption that Skiza tune does not pay. For most artists that spread this kind of rumors have registered and they MAY be earning though not to the expectation hence the rumor. Every person using your songs on their phone as CRBT (Caller Ring Back Tone) pay 75 cent to the mobile operator per day per active tune. This gross figure is then subjected to other deductions starting with mobile operator keeping more than a half, Aggregator (PRSP) share, KRA share and by the time it trickles to you its only about 0.05 cents per download. This figure will vary depending on the terms of the PRSP company that you sign up with to collect for you. When it is accumulated over a period of time, it can earn you some good amount. good enough to pay for the production of your next song or even get you sort some bills. It is much better than if you had stayed with the music just waiting to make CD sales and assuming that skiza does not pay.

2. Marketing & Promotion
 When you get your song active on skiza tune, it will be part of spreading your music on digital platforms that make the song readily available to your fans. It also helps you earn new fans. When one makes a call to a friend and listens to your song on the other end, The caller has an option of copying the song to self by simply dialing 11 and ending the call. If your song is catchy, entertaining or caries a strong message, you might enjoy the benefit of most mobile phone users opting to use it hence improving on your earnings. As you continue growing your music and promoting it on Tv, Radio, streets etc, your brand grows and more people become familiar with your music, more phone users subscribe to your skiza codes and your revenue grows.

Think of that one song you have heard severally on skiza tune, its familiar to you though you never watched it on TV or heard it on Radio with the common reason that the song had a poor audio or poor video. There exists quite a number of these kind of songs.

If you didn't know now you know. Get your music rolling on people's phones and make that simple cent that would definitely grow to a shilling over time.

As A Musician: Is It Fame or Money First?

Music recording is a very expensive affair if you venture into it with a mindset of making money, If it is a passion and talent then it is priceless. Whichever the case, every musician wants to be successful in this career either through handsome earnings, fame or both.

Handsome Earnings
Over 80% of musicians will venture into music recording to earn and live well as they may have seen this from the existing successful and established musicians, I use the term 'musicians' to avoid 'Artists' as most gospel singers do not approve to the fact that they are artists. Therefore "Musicians" will allow me to collectively refer to all gospel and secular singers. I reserve this topic "Artist" for another day. Good financial returns to any musician is a good thing as it lets one to make it a full time affair compared to most who do it as a side hustle. With assurance that they can earn a living from music, one can easily concentrate. Generally and obviously it feels secure to anyone knowing he/she has a little bit extra above monthly expense. It gives a sense of security to know that you can afford for your basic needs and stretch a supporting hand to those in need as the return for this is blessings and peace of mind.

Unfortunately to become a successfully earning musician, you have to keep spending producing more music and marketing your brand. we can easily guess that is why a large number of musicians take music as part time and opt for full time employment to enable them earn money to pay for studio, package themselves in a flamboyant way, push through there music careers and have a daily career. Consistent recording, pushing and marketing of your music will definitely see you make a hit or two that will completely turn around your life. At some point you will do a song that will touch people's live, get them dancing or both. This will see it go viral to every TV and radio station, phone ringtone, street mixes and this is where fame starts.

Fame And Influence

When your music is on everyone's ear, your name illuminates and your reputation changes from 'Upcoming' to 'Established'. You again are no longer an individual but a corporate. Your name becomes a transacting business brand and it gets power to give jobs directly and indirectly. Therefore fame becomes a good thing for any musician. When you become famous, it is good to concentrate on music and identify more avenues, opportunities and directions to expand your brand. If you are still in employment and you are famous, definitely the management will allocate you new roles at your place of work or elevate your grade just to much your new status. Although as a strong established brand, staying in employment will be like "A company working for another company" for a salary. Not the case of a contractor. A very small number manage to remain in employment as established famous brands. Others get it rough to maintain and fall out due to the responsibilities that come with fame.

Fame comes with influence which in turn is a selling point for a musician to get high value endorsements. This in turn defines the earnings that come into your life because of the brand you have established over time. Influence will also give you high power of negotiating a deal and in turn many companies will be willing to spend a lot more to have you promote their products, agenda or policies either as a brand ambassador or a product promoter. This, is one of the best things that can ever happen to any recording and performing artist. You will get more corporates, PRSP companies, Music promoters and event organizers squeezing into your brackets with bookings and business partnership intentions.

When you get to this level, get down to business, throw in a good figure and whoever can afford it let them have your service and attention, remember how much you have struggled, how far you have come and how much you have spent growing this brand to shine. This is the only time to recover.

Getting to this achievement, it is never overnight, it will take your passion for what you do, persistence when nothing is working, consistency and ambition when no one is playing your music, be a fan of yourself when no one is recognizing your effort and all this cover it with prayers of submission, thanksgiving and meditation.

If you are on this noble journey, KEEP WALKING...
