Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Celscius, a Zimdancehall artist also known as Celscius Wayne in the music circles has said he halted his music in 2019 after Jacaranda Media Group \u201cfaked\u201d a deal which took over his music, voice, sound, likeness, photographs and name. He told Norton legislator, Temba Mliswa that he engaged lawyers but the case seems to have reached a brick wall amid reports that the group is politically connected. Mliswa pledged to assist the musician. Pindula News presents a copy of the alleged deal which Celscius says he never signed:<\/p>\n

between<\/p>\n

Dated as of: 07\/01\/2019 You and I have agreed as follows:<\/p>\n

The Initial Period and Option Periods are hereinafter collectively referred to as the \u201cTerm.\u201d Unless you notify me to the contrary prior to the expiration of the Term, each Option Period will be automatically exercised by you.<\/p>\n

3. Digital Distribution and Publishing Services. During the Term hereof, you agree to perform for me the following services: represent me and act as my exclusive distributor and publisher. You will advise me and my management in all business negotiations and matters relating to cry entertainment career; supervise my professional engagements and to consult with employers of my services in the entertainment and literary fields to assure to the best of your ability the proper use of my services and the products thereof; supervise third party unaffiliated booking and talent agencies employed by me to secure offers for my professional services; and advice and counsel with respect to general practices in the entertainment and literary industries and with respect to such matters of which you may have knowledge concerning compensation and privileges extended for similar artistic values.<\/p>\n

A. I mandate Jacaranda Media Group the authority to be the guardian of all masters and copyright of all released Celscius music including any music which was released without prior consent from Celscius or management to which Celscius has full rights to: All masters are to be released under the Jacaranda Media Group \/ Celscius\/ Wayo Music partnership banner.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Zimbabwe Music Rights Association (ZIMURA) has written to the group seeking clarification on the contract which it says does \u201cnot promote and protect Celscius\u2019s music and brand.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Association demanded all correspondences done directly with Celscius that led to the signing of the alleged contract and evidence that there were payments made to Celscius for any sale, or advancement concerning his music.<\/p>\n

ZIMURA also wants to know when and who supplied Jacaranda with Celscius music.<\/p>\n
