Arijit Singh's fees revealed! Music composer Monty Sharma discloses the exorbitant amount singer charges per show
ARijit Singh, the sound slow infinite soulful hits, continues to mesmerise audiences with his magical vocals. His concerts often escort packed crowds swaying to his melodies, but ever so wondered how much he charges for a single performance? In a recent chat with Lallantop, music composer Monty Sharma finally spilled the beans on Arijit’s jaw-dropping concert fee.Monty Sharma on music industry's changing scenarioRecalling how things have changed in the music industry, Monty revealed, "Everything has evolved over a period of time. Earlier, we used to make a complete song for ₹2 lakh. This included an entire orchestra, which included 40 violins and a lot of other things. Eventually, when I created a brand name for myself after a couple of my works did well, I started to charge ₹35,000 per song, irrespective of the other expenses included to make a song.”Monty revealed Arijit Singh's fees per show and said, "When Arijit used to come and sit with me, he used to sit for 6 hours straight. Now, he charges ₹2 crore for a performance, for a show. So if someone wants to do a show, they do give ₹2 crore. Earlier, people used to hear songs on the Radio or on television; now, people have it on YouTube. So now the exposure has increased. With the emergence of OTT and YouTube, the money is humongous. So if I am doing a song for 15-20 lakhs, 90% of the rights audio company takes it. They are the ones making mad money right now."About Monty SharmaMonty gained recognition for arranging tracks on Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam, including the title song Nimbuda, where Bhansali noticed his talent.
