Tell us about your family and education background

What are the challenges you faced so far?

Hmmm… The challenge I face now is no longer a challenge for me. Rather, I see it as an opportunity to rise again, stronger. Well, when I first started, the first challenge I faced was discrimination. In a situation when your friend can’t even listen to your song without looking for faults in your song and I’m a very shy person. Currently, the challenge every upcoming artist is facing is financial challenge.

In spite of all the challenges that you have faced so far, what has been your driving force?

My fans and the dream I gat to fulfill in this life.

Obviously, your primary assignment is your studies, how do you cope with music and studies?

I cope very good, even with every other things. I plan and know how to use my time. Even sometimes, I might be receiving lectures and lyrics will just pop out and before you know it, I will start vibing and composing.
