Overview of topic

This episode dives into the money side of reggae and dancehall, the real talk behind artist and DJ rate cards, from small club sets to major festivals. With an event organiser, label owner, producer, DJ, and MC in the room, we unpack what actually goes into a booking fee, how artists should value themselves, and where promoters draw the line on budgets.
