If the big stars in the game talk about it boldly and they sue, I think it will become better. The impact work will get better,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to her, it has been three years since she registered with GHAMRO, but she is yet to receive royalties from the songs she has produced so far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve registered with GHAMRO. It\u2019s been three years, but they\u2019ve not given me anything. So I\u2019m yet to enquire,\u201d she stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The GHAMRO was established under section 49 of the Copyright Law, Act 690 of 2005 and regulated under L.I. 1962 of 2010 to collect and distribute royalties on behalf of authors\/composers and other right owners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, speaking on criticisms about her sounding Nigerian, the Soul-life singer believes it is an advantage for breaking into the Nigerian market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNigeria is the biggest country in Africa. So if they\u2019re the largest and they say I\u2019m sounding like a Nigerian, that means hopefully I may penetrate the Nigerian market and I might do well. Maybe it\u2019s a plus,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She entreated all artistes to work with music directors who really understand and know the rudiment of music in the establishment of their music career adding that music is spiritual and requires physical materials to be better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She believes knowing how to play an instrument has helped in her songwriting and live performances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Abiana is out with a new song, \u2018Shika\u2019 (Money) which she says is an inspiration from financing her song productions and music videos by herself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.myjoyonline.com\/when-the-stars-in-the-game-sue-ghamro-the-industry-will-be-better-abiana\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>SEND A STORY:<\/strong>\u00a0Do you have a story for us or need a promotion \/ advertisement?
