Dear Artist,

Imagine someone offers you $50 million today for songs you created years ago.

It sounds like easy money.

But what exactly are you selling?

Your catalog is the collection of music and music rights you have built over time. Depending on what you own and what the deal covers, that can involve your master recordings, your publishing rights, or interests in particular songs.

When people talk about selling a music catalog, it does not always mean selling everything connected to the music.

This is why you need to understand the deal.

Are you selling your masters?

Are you selling your publishing rights?

Are you selling only part of your ownership?

Is it permanent?

What income will you still receive after the sale?

These questions matter because a song that earns $1 million today could continue generating income for years.

So when somebody offers you a large amount upfront, don’t only look at the money sitting in front of you.

Look at what the asset could potentially generate over time.

There can be legitimate reasons for selling some or all of a catalog. An artist may want immediate capital, reduce financial risk, fund another business or simply prefer receiving money now instead of waiting for future royalties.

But it should be an informed business decision.

Before signing anything, understand exactly which rights are being transferred, which rights you are keeping, how the catalog has historically earned money, and what restrictions may affect you afterward.

Get proper legal and financial advice.

Your old songs are not just memories.

They can be assets.

Don’t sell an asset simply because someone finally showed you a big number.

First understand what you own, what it earns and exactly what you are being asked to give up.

ZIMURA, perhaps this is your cue to make the rules clearer for everyone. When a band performs someone else’s song, who needs to obtain the licence, how are performances reported, and how does the songwriter get paid? Artists and bands should not have to guess.

I understand where Fungisai is coming from. Creating a song takes time, talent and money. Calling a performance a tribute is a lovely sentiment, but it does not answer the questions of licensing, royalties and acknowledgement.

I understand that In Total have removed Fungisai’s song from their set list. That still leaves a wider question: are the other songs they perform regularly properly licensed? I’m not saying they aren’t; I don’t know what arrangements are in place.

In Zimbabwe, when someone asks a genuine question, it can quickly be labelled “hating” or “stirring the pot.” But upcoming musicians, established artists, bands and audiences all need to understand where they stand. If we cannot have honest conversations, people will keep their concerns to themselves and nothing will become clearer.

Let’s have the conversation. Share your thoughts and weigh in respectfully: how should live performances of other artists’ songs be licensed, reported and paid for in Zimbabwe?

Dear Artist,

Putting your song on Spotify is not the same thing as licensing your music.

These are two different sides of the music business, and you need to understand the difference.

Distribution is about getting your music to platforms.

Your distributor delivers your release to places like Spotify, Apple Music, Audiomack and other digital services. They also receive certain revenue generated from your recording and pay you according to your agreement.

Licensing is about giving someone permission to use your music.

For example, a filmmaker may want to use your song in a movie. A company may want it in an advert. A game developer may want it inside a video game. A television show may want to use part of it in an episode.

That use may require permission from the people who control the relevant rights.

And this is where ownership becomes very important.

Who owns the master?

Who wrote the song?

Are there other songwriters?

Was a sample used?

Did the producer retain any rights?

You cannot confidently license something when you don’t even understand who owns what.

This is why your agreements and split sheets matter.

Your distributor can help put your music in front of listeners around the world, but that does not automatically mean they control every licensing opportunity involving your song.

Understand the difference.

Distribution helps people access your music. Licensing gives someone permission to use your music in a particular way.

The more you understand your rights, the better prepared you are when opportunities come.
