Kenyan music sensation Akothee has officially drawn a line in the sand regarding professional collaborations. The star, known for her vibrant personality and business acumen, has launched a formal rate card, reinforcing her stance that her career is a commercial enterprise.
A Professional Approach
The singer took to social media to clarify how artists and brands can engage her for projects. In a post, she issued a stern message: “MUSIC IS BUSINESS, NOT CHARITY.“
She further outlined strict rules for communication. Akothee noted: “We do not accept collaboration requests via social media.” She warned that such unsolicited attempts “will be treated as misuse of the brand Image.“
Instead, she demands a professional process. Hermanagement, Aknotela Ent.Ltd,requires potential partners to send a professional proposal and budget to her official email address.
“Put a price on it, and you have the artist. The price below is non_negotiable. And paid only in $ /€/ £,” the notice added.
The Collaboration Investment
The financial details of this professional relationship are clearly laid out in the graphic. For a total “Collaboration Investment” of 50,000 USD, partners gain access to an extensive suite of services aimed at maximizing brand exposure.
The package is comprehensive and covers the following logistics:
- Professional Audio Production: High-quality studio work featuring Akothee.
- Video Production: Expertly crafted video content featuring the artist.
- Social Media Engagement: The inclusion of two social media posts per week to grow the partner’s brand.
- Direct Interaction: One or two direct live sessions to engage audiences in real-time.
- Media Tour: A strategic media tour to ensure maximum exposure and impact for the brand or artist.
Redefining Industry Standards
By formalising these terms, Akothee is positioning her brand as a premium entity. Her explicit move to insist on international currencies—the US dollar, the Euro, or the British Pound—signals her reach and intent to operate on a global scale.
