Many South African celebrities are trying hard day by day to get their life moving and also give to their fans what they want.
However, some might end up working with a particular organisation but get being used at the end.
Lets take a look at the SA artists.
Most of them are signed into one record label or the other, they get all document signed but at the end, it is not what they signed of for.
We have come to see some independent artist who made it all by themselves and their fan base are really high.
One of the reason why being an independent artist is the best is the fact that you have the right to do whatever you want to do as far as making decisions is concerned.
some on the other hand are being paid less after making a huge amount of money from their music.
This is really not encouraging and so of the artist had to look for another option.
Well, lets take a look at few of those who left their record label to become an independent artist themselves.
