Renowned musician William Johnson, popularly known as Stay Jay, has hopped to the defence of the Ghana Music Rights Organisation (GHAMRO) as he reveals he receives his monthly royalties.
Contrary to accusations that GHAMRO is not living up to its mandate of collecting and distributing royalties accordingly, Stay Jay is confident “the system is working”.
In an interview on Onua FM, Stay Jay claimed to have been receiving not less than GH₵20,000 monthly.
Asked how his story is different from that of his colleagues, he said that “you have to know where to channel yourself to. When you go there and you register with them, they take all your royalties and everything for you everywhere. When you give them the chance, they will do it for you.”
In his view, registering with GHAMRO is not enough and artiste must make conscious efforts to do constant follow-ups and have representatives.
“You go there, speak to them and they show you everything you have to do and you follow it."
