Tanzanian artist Harmonize recently unveiled his updated rate card, slated to take effect post his USA Tour. This announcement came in response to Kenyan singer Jaguar’s claim of superiority in wealth over Harmonize, asserting that there was nothing Harmonize could teach him about affluence.
In a light-hearted jab at Jaguar’s remarks, Harmonize employed laugh emojis to playfully dismiss his assertions. He made it clear to Jaguar that he didn’t view himself as Jaguar’s musical junior, contrary to Jaguar’s earlier remarks in an interview at Kiss 100.
Harmonize proceeded to disclose his new fee structure. Following the conclusion of his USA tour, he will command a performance fee of $100,000. Translating to approximately Ksh. 13.7 Million and Tsh. 235 Million in Kenya and Tanzania, respectively.
Remarkably, Harmonize’s new rate aligns with the standard fee charged by the likes of Diamond Platnumz for performances. Notably, during Diamond’s performance at Kasarani Stadium for the Azimio event, he received Ksh. 12 Million, equivalent to $100,000 at the time, factoring in the fluctuating dollar rates.
Harmonize’s decision to unveil his revised rate card appears to be a strategic move to assert his financial status over Jaguar, along with positioning his performance fees significantly higher. This move is particularly evident considering Jaguar’s previous assertion of charging Ksh. 500,000 per show, placing Harmonize’s fee well above five times Jaguar’s rate.
