Family Still Smoothly Receiving Royalties Chrisye Songs

JAKARTA - The son of the late Chrisye, Pasha Chrisye, said that the family still enjoys the royalties coffers of his father's work.

Not only providing economic benefits to families, Pasha even said that many people enjoyed the results of these works.

"Alhamdulillah, I'm really proud to have a papa like him (Christye)," Pasha told the media crew in Setiabudi, South Jakarta some time ago.

"Until now, it's not just the children that he still gives (the money from the royalties of music), he still gives other people," he continued.

Although he did not mention names, Pasha said, quite a number of people received economic benefits from his father's work.

The 35-year-old man confirmed that the ownership of copyright from the late Chrisye was still held by the family. However, regarding management, he gave confidence to the label Musica Studios to take care of it.

"The management is so far very safe. I am very comfortable putting my papa's (catalog) there (Musica Studios)," he said.

For example, said Pasha, when someone wants to cover or re-record his father's work, the label will provide the information to him.

Furthermore, regarding the chaotic copyright of songs and music, which has been highlighted by the national music industry in recent years, Pasha has chosen to entrust the entire process so that it is completed by parties who have the authority. What is the hope is that what is decided can have a better impact on the national music ecosystem.

"I believe in this process. We'll see," said Pasha. I believe, this industry will lead to a better one.
