Jalingo - Fast growing music label Butterfield music has reinstated its commitment to the abolishment of free shows.
This was made official when the CEO of the crew Magjizzy took it to his social media handles and below he posted

"Press Statement!!!
NO MORE FREE SHOW!!!

 "No Business Grows If Family, Relatives and Friends Fails To Pay For Service Rendered"

 This Saying Is No Joke, Its A Word From The Wise.
Butterfield Best Entertainment is a fully registered, Widely Recognized, Reputable Company. It Runs With a Staff strength of not less than 6 paid working personnels.
Production of music from artists on the label is fully the responsibility of the record label. From Post Production (Art cover, Music hype, Transport and logistics), Song Recording, Blogging of Songs, Airplay on Radio/TV Station to Promotions and Marketing, ALL THESE COST MONEY.

 I've heard a lot of event planners and show promoters complain that they're running on a budget and can't really afford paying artists their performance fees, Most times not even transport fare or refreshment is offered artists from Jalingo for shows hosted in Jalingo. But at the same show the DJ is offered not less that #20,000
MC's are paid #15,000, 
Comedians are paid #10,000, 
Bouncers are paid #7,000,
Bloggers and promoters are paid #10,000,
Ushers are also paid handsomely.
But when it gets the turn of the artist that has put in a lot of creativity into his art to be appreciated we hear stories.
How will things change when no one is ready to take a step?

 That Change Begins Now!!!
No Artist on the Butterfield Best Music imprint will Appear, Perform, or Grace any event without prior notice addressed to the Secretary of the Label. Notice and Negotiations should be made Two (2) weeks before the event.
Any artist on the label that holds any form of negotiations or talks as regards to any show within or outside the state, does that at his own detriment.
Event Planners Many Times Set Aside A Specific Amount Of Money for the "Entertainment Industry".
Butterfield Best Music is Not/Will not be a part of any of such payment method.

 I am Magjizzy and I Say No To Free Shows."
