I make more money as solo artiste - Peter Okoye

Peter Okoye known on stage as Mr P has said that been a solo artist has made him more money as compared to when he was in a group.

During an interview with HipTV, Peter noted that since he began singing as a solo artist, he no longer has to split his earning three ways, adding that he enjoys his freedom as well.

“Hundred percent, I am. I don’t have to share three ways. Call it greed or selfishness. It’s your own cup of tea. I share with nobody. Yes, my management and my team. Fine. But I’m doing my own thing. I’m freer.

I’m making more money. Freedom is key. I can get a call that there’s a show next week and it’s my daughter’s birthday. I can say, ‘cancel it’. As a group, I couldn’t do that. Moneywise, if I used to share three ways, I share alone.

What am I doing music for? It’s about doing it how I feel it. It’s not even about the money. But when it comes to that, I make more than I was while in the group,'' he said.
