Lady Du is now working on what she calls a masterpiece of an Amapiano album with young up and coming producers and no known producers. She gave musicians her two cents on owning your music and not signing shady contracts while promoting her soon-to-be-released project.
Lady Du announced on Twitter that she is working on an album and that it will be a masterpiece.
My album đđ
-Private school piano
-For people that understand music
-Story telling
-Every song has a meaning
-I wrote all my songs to touch, inspire, motivate, share love.
-Itâs personal. I took time with it. I respect your ears. Thank you for your patience ITS TIME!!!— Ladydu (@Ladydu_sa) November 3, 2022
She then further added that it is produced by young people and not any famous people.
“My album is produced by kids!! I have no famous producers, Iâm teaching kids the business!!!! They all get equal royalties as me!!! Own your things I beg you!!! What someone else can do for you, you can do for yourself with the right connections. STUDY THE GAME, FORGET THE Fame,” tweeted the Amapiano vocalist.
She then advised people to understand what masters and publishing is and how they can own it. Another important factor is people signing paperwork when leaving the studio because you may ever know if you have a hit or not.
“Own your music! Learn what masters are, learn what publishing is, when you record pay for studio so someone doesnât come back and take your master rights because they paid for your session!!! Never give anyone your master rights thatâs money forever!! Also when you give your songs to people that canât produce make sure you own your masters!!!! Never give a song to someone for them to make you famous!!! Theyâll still make money with your song. So give them the song for them to get bookings you make the money internally.
“Sign paper work before leaving the studio no one knows when a song is going to be a hit!!! Keep yourself on the safe side.”
To conclude her music 101 class, LADY Du warned against signing contracts that do not favor the artist.
“Own your music!!!! Donât sign contracts that donât favour you, make sure itâs in your favour since youâre the business. Get a clause that states you can leave when youâre unhappy. Read a contract 5 times with 3 different opinion before signing,” she concluded.
Here are some of her tweets.
