Harrysong He, however, debunked insinuations that he was having a running battle with his former management before he finally dumped the label. Speaking on the development officially during a media chat, Harrysong admitted leaving Five Star Music. He said, “I am no longer Five Star music artiste. My contract with the company has expired and I decided to unveil my new musical platform. I have learned a lot coming from Question Mark, the first record label I have worked with before I moved to Five Star Music. And when the contract expired, I aspired to grow and to express myself in another platform. That’s why I set up the Alterplate and you will see that it is not just a record label, it involves a lot of things. This is a dream I have been nurturing for many years now. I am very grateful to God that it has become a reality.” Explaining further, the “Better Pikin” crooner said, “I will always respect both platforms. I will always respect Five Star Music where I learnt the ropes. I can still do some stuff for them such as writing songs or anything they want me to do for them. I am still in talking terms with them and I had their blessing before leaving.” Harryson said, Alterplate as the name of his label, depicts where he was coming from. According to him, “I started music as a musical director in the church. The name is talking about where I am coming from and the music I have to churn out. It’s also the expectation of what is coming into the music industry in Nigeria. We have some artistes who are already signed to the label and these artistes are people that have worked with me in the past. “I know them and I know what they can do. We also have a band group now called, Alterplate band, that will be performing with me on stage. They can also perform at events without me because they have complete team. This is what we started long time ago. Before now, I was not strong enough to start this but now, I am stronger. I didn’t quarrel with Five Star Music. People say that I am the engine room of Five Star music. “The truth is that I wrote a lot of songs for them and it doesn’t mean the label is going to crumble as I take my leave. They have a lot of talented people like Kcee, Skibii, Ex-boster among others. I came into the label with my own sound. So, as I am leaving they have their own sound that they are going to continue with. I don’t think there will be any reason for me to go back to Five Star Music, but I will always appreciate the label.” You May Like Woman gives birth to strange creature after 3-year pregnancy - Vanguard News Court verdict: Our party death dreamer's will wake up, see us more stronger -Ekweremadu - Vanguard News Prostate cancer: What to avoid eating - Vanguard News 3 Reasons Why Nigerian Ladies Love Men With Big Manhood - Vanguard News Dangote Rice ready before December - Vanguard News Army recovers remains of soldier killed in Agatu - Vanguard News by Taboola IKENNA View all posts by Ikenna → PREVIOUS POST How I cheated death by Nollywood actor, Leo Mezie who survived kidney ailment NEXT POST Video: “Mr. President, is N290 per Dollar realistic?” – Dino Disclaimer Comments expressed here do not reflect the opinions of vanguard newspapers or any employee thereof. 2 comments Sign in3 people listening Newest | Oldest nigeriacustomrice Nov 25, 2016 PASTOR JAMES 09073510046 We se..II all kinds of to.kunb0 ve.hicles at che@p ra.tes, e.g. G0lf2, 3, 4, 5 ALSO A BAG OF RICE ALSO GOES FOR #N8,5OO PER BAG FOR 10 BAGS AND ABOVE  G_0_I_f 2, 3, 4, 5 from N2OO-N3OO,OOO To_yo_ta Cam_ry b,I,g d@ddy=          N5OO,OOO H,o,n,d,a a,c,c,ord b,a,b.y boy=N45O,OOO To_yo_ta  Ma_tr.ix=N65O,OOO, To_yo_ta Pr_a_do=N8OO,OOO To_yo_ta h_i_ace N55O,OOO To_yo_ta A_va_l_on=N75O,OOOFORMORE INFO CHECK OUT NEW PRICE BELOWRoyal umbrella=8,500Mama Gold=8,500Royal stallion=8,500Otunba=8,500Rising sun=8,500Special rice=8,500Mama Africa=8,500Royal crown=8,500Ade Brazil=8,500Elephant Gold=8,500Super eagle=8,500PJS=8,500Tomato rice=8,500Caprice =8,500WE DELIVER TO ANY STATE IN NIGERIAnote delivery fees must been paid before deliver` FlagShareLikeReply punchngr Nov 25, 2016 ! ON call madam fatima 09057776716                                  Royal stallion=8,500 Special rice=8,500                                  Mama Africa=8,500 Royal crown=8,500 Elephant Gold=8,500                                     eagle=8,500 Tomato rice=8,500                                                     Caprice =8,500 WE DELIVER TO ANY                                           STATE IN NIGERIA.@ N1000 PER BAG FlagShareLikeReply LATEST NEWS 8:32 AMHow We Stopped Pregnancy Deaths In Ondo – Mimiko 8:14 AMPDP And Its Default Mode 8:04 AM‘How PDP Can Be Saved’ 8:04 AMPresidency Is North’s Birthright Till 2023 —Yerima 8:04 AMCattle Grazing: Ijaw Elders Condemn Attack On Protesters In Bayelsa 8:00 AMReality Versus ‘Alternative Facts’ (1) 8:00 AMRipples Trail Ambode’s Yellow Card For Yellow Buses 7:51 AMOsinbajo’s Visit To The Niger Delta
