The music Industry is a money making space that can lead one to fame and leading a luxurious lifestyle but only if you get to that level.
Tanzanian artist Diamond Platinumz has revealed his show charges and it is quite interesting that talent can have you earn that much. The funny part is that the money earned in one show by an artist like him can be equivalent to an annual salary of the common ‘mwananchi’ or even a two year salary.
In 2014 it was rumored that the artist was earning about 4 million Kenyan Shillings and over the years this has changed by an addition.
Currently, Diamond Platinumz does not charge less than 7oooo US Dollars which is equivalent to 7 Million Kenyan shillings. This is just for one show and also considering that this is just a side hustle, then it simply means he could be one of the richest Tanzanian men alive.
The Tanzanian artist is currently in Toronto, Canada and hasbeen doing several shows meaning he might as well have earned an amount more than what he charges.
The money that some of us might only get from winning a lottery at the moment.
The revelation of his charges was made today on his Instagram page as he tried to convince BASATA to lift the ban of a song ‘ Mwanza’ that was produced under his record label WCB . A song that he was part off in a collabo with Rayvanny.
Diamond Platinumz in a long post tried to convince the Tanzanian Art Council to consider their plea which is to be allowed to use their song on social media platforms and also during the Wasafi Festival which will only be attended by adults.
The WCB boss also stated that the council can go ahead and ban the song on TV and Radio for the sake of children.
Diamond says that he believes that he might soon be called to neighboring countries since their songs have been hyped beyond the borders and this will be of benefit to him and the Tanzanian Government.
