Creatives; RIGHTS don't go left!
All the love to everyone doing the reading from any part of our world, these are trying global trying times and so it's important I share my flowers with you all.
I am today writing on an important subject for artists as well as creative in general, RIGHTS!
Contents across continents have become very global, technology making it a village thus! There are a multiplicity of plagiarised contents and this overflow has flooded our REELS, STORIES, STATUS et all with recycled creativity and few authentic creations.
In one word, all I'm saying is we need to protect things we create so they don't lose their value and this is when RIGHTS come in.
Having things you create take care of you as you take care of them is the beautiful power adding RIGHTS gives you. So powerful are your creations you need to protect them so the social vultures don't feed off it, you know piracy and all that. The Internet abounds with a lot in the digital space.
At this juncture in our read, let me recognise a publishing company pulling all the RIGHT plugs and changing the narrative as far as the music scene in Africa is concerned, West Night Publishing!
Mr. Seidu (Ceo) has done a tremendous work in helping shape the landscape through partnerships built with the growth of the artist in the subconscious of every deal signed between publisher and artist.
When you have a selfless machinery as West Night being guardians of your creations and ensuring your RIGHTS don't go left, growth in your artistic career is inevitable as we've seen with artists joining them.
Ladies and Gentlemen, creatives and copycats, it is imperative we own things we come up with and one look at some artists who have been neglected because they didn't respect enough what they had and was giving out gives you a better understanding of the whole. Some others who did the needful and protected their gift to the world are today in harmony with retirement whilst the situation isn't calm with the other side of the coin where such artists as Komfo Kwadee belongs. The names are a lot, you should see and learn from them because when you see a creative fall; Don't laugh but learn!
The epilogue is here and as always, your errand boy with words as feet!
