Why I Plan To Buy Back My Music Masters – Davido
Nigerian singer Davido has revealed that he plans to buy back his music masters from his foreign record label, Sony, before retiring from music.
Speaking during an episode of The Long Form podcast, the award-winning artiste stressed the importance of ownership in the music industry.
According to him, his goal is to regain control of his music catalogue and eventually pass the benefits to his children.
“I have a good music contract. But the most important thing is ownership. I plan to get my masters back from Sony soon. With that I can give each of my kid songs they will keep earning royalties from even after I retire,” he said.
Davido explained that he wants each of his children to continue earning royalties from his music long after he leaves the industry.
The singer also emphasized that musicians should pay close attention to the business side of their careers and not focus only on making music.
