Khaligraph explains why starting a label is not easy

If you’re thinking of starting a label, be prepared for hell because it’s not an easy business according to Khaligraph Jones.

He recently opened up why a label is not easy to run, saying that you should first be aware of the business.

“First of all you need to understand the music business. You can have a record label and you can have a studio. Those are two different things because I know a lot of people who have studios, but record label doesn’t necessarily need to have a studio coz hiyo inadeal na publishing na content copyright and all that stuff. Studio on the other hand is where you can go open it up and record,” he shared.

He went on:

“So me huadvice wasee manze before you claim that you have a label then kuna alot of terms and conditions that you need to adhere to and you also need to understand the music business coz you can’t just wake up one day and say that oh mimi nikona record label. So mimi huadvice wasee fungua studio, anza studio, elewa mziki kwanza, fanya mziki miaka kadhaa, link up with the right people, get the right insight and information then from there you’ll know how progress with your ambitions of establishing a label.”
