7 Beautiful Portraits of Elsa Japasal, Reveals Reason for Using Real Name in the Music Industry

Elsa Japasal decided to use her real name when entering the music world. This decision is not without reason. Elsa wants to emphasize a different identity in each field she engages in. She feels that using an appropriate name can help her build a more professional image in the singing world.

"Let it be different, sis. If I'm called on stage as Eca Aura, I’ll be asked to tell jokes. But if it's Elsa Japasal, I’ll use that to sing, because Elsa Japasal is my real name and it sounds more serious. So people won’t ask me to tell jokes," said Elsa.

The name "Eca Aura" has long been attached to her life, especially in the esports world. Eca is her childhood nickname, while Aura has become her identity in the competitive gaming scene. This name is widely recognized in the esports community, making her feel more comfortable using it for purposes in that field.

Meanwhile, the name Japasal that she now uses for singing is taken from her father's family name, which has Chinese ancestry. This name holds a very special meaning for her.

"Elsa Japasal means a beautiful and kind-hearted child. Japasal is my father's family name, right? It's Chinese," she added.  

Besides identity factors, Elsa also wants to show her seriousness in music through the use of her real name. For her, music is a very different world from esports or other entertainment. By using her birth name, she hopes to be more recognized as a singer with a strong character in this industry.
