@PlaySAMusic we are back online!

But in every bad situations there's an opportunity, only the creative promoter / venues will survive!! Best of luck.

Etoll = When promoters go to the airport to pick up artists there will now be an added travel cost.

Etoll = All sound, lights, stage, furniture companies WILL increase product rentals and this WILL be passed on to the promoter.

Etoll = With average Gauteng road users having to spend an extra R 500, everyone is going to ask for a complementary tickets at events.

Etoll = Less party goers in Gauteng. Less pay for the artists/ DJs. increased prices of cigarette, alcohol & food(essential event products)

Are you paying e-toll start tomorrow?

Congratulations all winners and nominees of the #CHOAMVA

**warning to all our followers** our tweets are not designed to entertain you!! they are meant to change industry perception from within.

It is a major decision choosing between major and indie route, but if you are looking for ownership indie is the way! #Majorsvsindies

Our advice, - Open your label - Register your works under that label - License your works for a short period with a major #Majorsvsindies

Majors = 9-5 job with NO guaranteed month end salary. Indies = 24hr job with NO guaranteed month end salary. #Majorsvsindies

The disadvantage of an indie is: Lack of (funds, an experienced TEAM, connections into the industry networks) #Majorsvsindies

The advantage of going indie, is that YOU OWN your works, you decide when to release who to feature, (when, what, how) #Majorsvsindies

Artists can't go to a major and instruct them how to spend THEIR money, it's theirs, so they are your boss they OWN you!!! #Majorsvsindies

For an artists considering going indie or to a major: consider this, at a major you have a team and funds but they tell you want to do ...
