Those who felt the union between
E-Money’s Five Star Music Label and Harrysong was a match made in heaven
were shocked when the gist broke that the Reggae Blues crooner had left
the record label.
Now, Harrysong has joined the long list of artistes who dumped their record labels to set up their own.
And as he has left, the singer, who
claimed he wrote most of the songs in the record label, said his former
label would need to recreate their sounds since he has left with the
sounds he created while he was with the team.
“My exit from Five Star music will not
crumble the record label. They have other artistes and it is a platform
that has been built for years. I was there when we started the whole
movement and now, I have started mine with my artistes. If any of them
should go, my record label will not crumble. I know I wrote most of
their songs but with my exit, their sound would change. I came with my
own sound and since I am leaving with it, they would have to create
something new for themselves. Every artiste has different sounds and it
depends on what inspires you.”
But as much as the split has generated
controversies, Harrysong told Saturday Beats that he is not at war with
his former label and his label mates, especially Kcee.
Against the rumour being peddled,
Harrysong said he left basically because his contract had expired and he
needed to launch his own platform, Alter Plate.
Even as some people feel Harrysong was
biting the finger that fed him and made him popular, he said, “Why are
people seeing things from just one direction? I was Harrysong in
Question Mark before I joined Five Star Music. I don’t want the fans to
get things twisted. Of course, people shouldn’t have expected me to stay
there forever. It was a contract, a deal, and it was going to end; now
it has ended. What I need people to understand is that I was with
Question Mark till my contract ended; then I moved to Five Star and now I
am about to progress. My career was not going to end with Five Star
music. The contract ended and I had to progress.”
