Don Jazzy and Cobhams are the only rich producers, the rest are poor -- Veteran Producer K-Solo
Popular music producer, K Solo has cried out about the way producers get treated in the music industry. The man responsible for the rise of Timaya and other prominent south south acts, stated that producers re being cheated out of major endorsement deals, which is why, Don Jazzy and Cobhams are the only successful Nigerian producers.
He said "Check out many artistes in Nigeria, most of them have big houses and drive good cars, but these young music producers have nothing. Most of them don’t even have a car.
They have produced major hit songs that have built houses for some of these artistes."
He gave instances "The biggest accolade you get as a music producer is accompanying a popular artiste to an event. That is the end of it. In the USA, music producers live like celebrities. How many music producers have gotten an endorsement deal aside from Cobhams and Don Jazzy? We cannot develop the music industry that way.
