JAKARTA - Pasha Chrisye, the singer and son of the late Chrisye, openly mentioned some of the economic benefits that the family still got after his father died.

As is known, Chrisye passed away on March 30, 2007. Even though he has passed away, his songs are still being performed by many younger singers, some of his Arabic tribute concerts have also been held.

Pasha said the economic benefits obtained by the family were not only from her father's songs in the form of royalties but the use of Chrisye's own name.

"For example, I also want to make Tribute to Chrisye, it has a cost, there is a fee," Pasha told the media crew in Setiabudi, South Jakarta some time ago.

"For example, if you want to make a tribute to Chrisye event, it's like there is a dowry that must be paid, because that's the selling point," he continued.

The benefits of both song royalties and the use of Chrisye's name, said Pasha, are handed over to Musica Studios, as the holder of the catalog as well as the label where Pasha belongs at this time.

"Lagu dan segala macam, itu sudah ditempatkan di satu tempat, di Musica, which is aku kan di sana juga sekarang. Jadi satu pintu begitu," katanya.

"The management is so far very safe. I am very comfortable putting my father (catalog) there," added the 35-year-old man.

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.
