ABUJA – Award-winning singer and songwriter,
Harrison Tare Okiri popularly called Harrysong has
exited Five Star Music record label.
In an interview he granted the media during the
weekend, the Reggae Blues crooner revealed that
his decision not to renew the contract with Five Star
Music, after it expired, was based on his being
unappreciated enough by the label.
“What bothers me is not the work, what bothers me
is the appreciation…. You are helping someone that
knows nothing and he’s telling you that he’s helping
you. You write a song and the person is telling you
that ‘it’s when I sing your song that you blow, if I
don’t sing your song you don’t blow’,” he said.
Harrysong has floated his own record label called
“Alterplate.”
A visit to his instagram handle also confirms the
move as nothing whatsoever on his profile still
references Five Star Music anymore having
replaced all such information with Alterplate.
Meanwhile, a large number of his followers on
social media have congratulated him and have also
described the development as a decisive move that
would advance his music career in the right
direction.
