SMP Appreciation Thread #2 (positive comments only) - Page 68

Rosario is Ashish's manager too? He takes care to arrange audience n singers appropriate for eachother..

SMP Ashish r perfect for foot tapping numbers and young audience..

Maybe now I get why these two aren't in UK US tour..maybe that audience is more into nostalgia and melodies

Yes. Most Idol folks are managed by Talent Studio Next which is a division of Sony Pictures Networks India.

May be. These two individually also power house and together can be a treat. Good to see they are getting back to back concerts and busy.

Do you know generally how much they charge for such private event gigs??

Thanks. You choose right person. Why I was curious SMP is not staying in Mumbai yet so every event she has to travel and stay in some hotel along with her mother. I was just curious how costly all this could be vs what she earns especially when events are small? My buisiness mind is curious.

No. Never negotiated with Sony.

Charges per singer in the industry can vary from Rs 5K to Rs 1.5 Crores! for a single event!

Some big timers charge Rs 30 Lacs for wedding gigs.

Charges are for the duration of performance usually, though people like Shreya charge by song. Which is why Rosario is upset that the duo performed for over an hour extra. He is trying to laugh it off, but it is poor business.

All concerts include fully paid travel for singer and band (if they come with singer) and all hotel/local transportation. This is over and above the charges.

Female singers usually command a lower rate. (That is not new in industry). #

Sony likely charges different rates for different artists as per industry practice. For shows like UK/USA etc they charge one bulk rate and singers get paid as per their contract. So if PD gets 100, Aru will get 70 and even Danish may get 70, if not 80. Solo shows are different.

SMP would have to pay for Ratnamala's air ticket and double room extra. Rest are not charged to her,

She possibly makes enough to afford the above.

I would guess, and this is a guess without proper information, that at this stage of their life they get 30-50K for each performance like the one you are discussing and maybe 1Lac for a solo gig. Talent Next gets a fat commission because they do the price negotiation. So actual cost per singer to the organizers would be much more.

Edit: # One reason why Sony prefers a male winner! Commissions are larger.🤣

1 lakh per gig is big money - and you are saying it js net to the singer? So assuming TSN takes 20% commission on the gross that means 1.25 L per singer for the host? Wow!

Thanks as always for the insights 👍🏼

He must be so disappointed that he couldn't be at Ananda In the Himalayas. Seems like a wonderful property!
