Your name is your only real currency in this industry

The VVV session with Booba and Maes, 2021. I record a riff, several tracks. The song takes shape.

A few days later, a manager arrives with a cheque for 150 euros. The price for signing away my rights and erasing my name.

I said no. That refusal established my iron rule: my guitar can appear on the biggest records, but my contribution cannot be erased.

Royalty-Fair is not an option; it is the technical infrastructure behind that refusal. If you do not defend your name from the very first session, no one will do it for you. Meritocracy is not something you ask for. You make it happen.
