Kuami Eugene has stated that he spent three months in the U.S. signing deals with major music platforms after leaving Lynx Entertainment.
In an interview on 3FM, the Monica hitmaker explained that he was away for family reasons and also to work on partnerships that would support his career as an independent artiste.
He explained that without the support of a record label, it’s difficult to handle things like music distribution and playlisting on his own, which is why he had to travel and meet with companies that could help.
Kuami Eugene further revealed that after his exit from Lynx Entertainment, he received numerous offers from companies eager to partner with him because of his numbers.
However, he said many of these proposals were profit-driven, prompting him to spend three months with his lawyer to carefully review and negotiate the right deals.
“I was in the States for three months for family reasons and then again, I was signing a contract with some big companies. As I said earlier, you can’t do it all by yourself. I can’t do all the distributions; to be on playlisting and stuff you need to deal with these big companies and I was there for three good months with my lawyer going back and forth.
“Because it’s just me now, everybody is looking at the numbers and how they can have a piece of it. Since I left Lynx, so many calls, people are like ‘you have numbers already you just have to do this and give us a cut’ so I have to spend three good months with my lawyer. We had a meeting with Audiomack, Ditto, and all these big platforms. We are trying to put me out there, so I was away for a while trying to put things together well,” Kuami Eugene stated.
