JAKARTA - Denny Chasmala has again revealed the amount of royalties for performing rights that he received from one of the largest Collective Management Institutions (LMK) in Indonesia today, Wahana Musik Indonesia (WAMI).
Through his Instagram account, Denchas "his nickname" uploaded a screenshot of WAMI's transfer which was only Rp. 660,153.
"Thank God, I got royalties, it's not a big matter, of course I'm still grateful. I swear I'm sincere, but an engine," wrote Denchas, citing the caption of the upload, Wednesday, July 9.
The guitarist who is also the songwriter said that the main problem in the distribution of royalties by LMK is the unclear about the use of his songs.
"But I never know who played or sang my song," he added. Is the cafe owner, is karaoke, is it sung by office events, weddings, paid concerts, supermarkets, or anything?)
The 52-year-old guitarist continues his hopes that singers who bring their works still remember their existence as songwriters who also require income to support their lives with their families.

"My hope is that those who hear my song will be entertained," said Denchas.
"Hopefully those who sing my song will be happy, and hopefully those who sing will be paid for the remember of having a song and praying for those who have a song given health so that they can compose a good song again, so that they can live and be able to support their family," he added.
In addition, Denchas also pinned another statement, which looked like a satire for the singers.
"If I had a good voice, maybe I would sing my own song. Hopefully those who have a good voice will always remember who made the song," he said.
