Before Passing Away, Didi Kempot Successfully Became the Biggest Royalty Recipient This Year

Kapanlagi.com - The figure of Didi Kempot is extraordinary. His dedication to music was maintained until the end of his life. Even on the night before his death, he was still completing recordings in the studio. Now, he has taken his last breath on Tuesday (5/5) morning.

Known as a musician who consistently performs regional music, Didi Kempot apparently did not distance himself from the younger generation. In fact, last March he was named the largest royalty recipient of the year.

1. Several Names are Included

This was revealed when the Performers Rights Society of Indonesia (PRISINDO) announced the annual royalty distribution on March 9, 2020.

As reported by detik.com, Didi Kempot is one of the largest royalty recipients. Several other names are also included there. There are Raisa, Iwan Fals, Payung Teduh, and many other musicians. Unfortunately, PRISINDO did not disclose the royalty figures.

Still reported from the same source, PRISINDO records royalties that come from performing rights or the right to publicly announce works, not based on the sales of musicians' songs.

"When a recorded work is played for commercial purposes such as in hotels, karaoke, and restaurants, the users must pay performing rights royalties to the three rights owners, namely the songwriters, musicians, and singers who recorded the work, as well as the producer," explained Marcell, a singer and Chairman of PRISINDO on Detik.com.

3. Dedication to Music

Not only proven through that, Didi Kempot's dedication is also shown through his consistency in creating. Yes, even a week before his passing, he had released the single Kapusan Janji with Yuni Shara.

4. Donate Now

The Covid-19 pandemic did not stop Didi. At least his last concert managed to collect donations of more than 7 billion. He also released the song Ojo Mudik on Youtube last week.
