Understand streaming royalty systems – Ray G urges artists

Wait 5 sec.

Ray G has weighed in on the ongoing debate about the money musicians receive from streaming platforms, urging artists to first understand how the payment systems work before criticising the earnings.Speaking during an interview on Galaxy FM, the singer said many complaints stem from a lack of information about how streaming royalties are calculated and distributed. According to Ray G, artists should take time to learn how much platforms pay, the payment schedules, and the channels through which the money is remitted before concluding that they are being underpaid.We need to get information first, what they pay, what time they pay for, where they pay from. Let’s first gather information and that’s why we aren’t contented because we think maybe there’s something. If we know it all, in and out, then you’d know whether you’re getting enough.Ray G shares top 5 songs, including Nigerian and Ugandan hitsRay G also addressed royalties distributed through the Uganda Performing Rights Society (UPRS), revealing that he has not yet received any payment. However, he remains optimistic that his share will be processed, noting that his management team is already in contact with the organization. “I haven’t put my focus on it yet but I think management is in touch with those people,” he said. @galaxyfmug @1rayg gives his take on the money musicians get from streaming platforms #EveningRushReloaded ♬ original sound – 100.2 Galaxy FM Zzina!
