When invited by Pagi Pagi Ambyar, Amaludin appeared nervous. Understandably, he is not a public figure, although many people are familiar with him, especially the generation that used to listen to music via Winamp.

Amaludin then recounted how his photo became widely circulated. "Initially, I liked listening to Indonesian music, so I started a collection," said Amal.

Amaludin made that decision because it was impossible to store his collection of songs on the office computer as it would consume too much memory. That's why Amaludin decided to store his song collection on 4shared.

Actually, at first, Amaludin used his own photo because his intention was only for personal collection. Who would have thought that his friends also downloaded from Amaludin's 4shared account and asked why his photo was there.

After that, who would have thought that the songs with Amaludin's cover also went viral in Indonesia. When asked how it feels to be 'recognized', he felt shy. "I'm not an artist," said Amal, who is still working at a subsidiary of Telkom until now.

When asked how many people have downloaded from his 4shared account, Amaludin admitted he forgot because it was over 20 years ago.

Amaludin admitted that after being invited to Pagi Pagi Ambyar, he briefly received endorsements. Does anyone still have photos of young Amaludin?
