DJ Are Much More Doing Better Than Artistes

Kiss Daniel’s official DJ, worldwide  known as

DJ Shabzy, has confirmed that DJs are richer

than artistes in Nigeria indesense that  DJs save

more than artistes, who on the other side 

spend most  of their income to live

extravagant lifestyles. DJ Shabzy who is the

official DJ to Kiss Daniel and his G-nationalwide

label mate, Sugarboy, who launched his debut

album titled ‘Believe’ at an album launch

concert which presently  held at the Oriental

Hotel, Lekki, Lagos, told Showtime in an

exclusive chat that unlike DJs who get to save

more of their income, Nigerian artistes spend

extravagantly to maintain their identity and

status but DJs have no reason to do so

therefore they save more of their income. He

believes DJs live a simple lifestyle unlike

artistes.

“As a matter of fact when you talk about the

revenue in the music industry; DJs get to save

much more than the artistes, I’m not talking

about the A’list artistes now, I’m talking about

the average artistes that are known. I can tell

you that DJs probably earn much more and

save more than the artistes because DJs get

to go for shows back to back; our standard of

living is less to what the artistes will have to

live on. Artistes want to change clothes every

minute but DJs don’t really have reasons to go

into that kind of lifestyle, because we have

the name out there but less is to the identity,

so it saves us much than the artistes. We are

doing better than them, I’m not at the top , but

I’m doing fine and well .”

He  touch some area in the music industry, there is 

needs to urgently address before it erodes the

very essence and credibility of the creative

craft. He told Showtime that in his experience

in the music industry, some artistes personally

pay people to pirate their own songs, just to

spin a web of controversy that will move it to the next level. 

He said; “One major character I think artistes in Nigeria

are doing that is not so cool and needs to be

addressed is going to the extent of paying

people to pirate their own songs all in the

Name of promotion.” In his own opinion, he strongly

believes artistes should leave  their works

speak for themselves instead of cutting

corners.
