For Armand himself, talking with Glenn Fredly is very enjoyable. He is a humble person and has a high concern for the music condition in Indonesia.

"He is a good person, low profile, and when talking to him, it goes deep. Sometimes we joke around, but it always ends with discussing how to make Indonesian music run well and correctly," said Dewi Gita's husband.

"He is always like that, whether we meet backstage, in a relaxed setting, or during studio rehearsals, he always greets with 'Heyyy'," he continued.

2. Glenn Fredly's Ambition

Armand Maulana said that there is an ambition of Glenn's that has not been achieved yet. Since long ago, Glenn only wanted to save the weak Indonesian music industry. And Armand hopes that his ambition can be continued by other musicians.

"When he talks, it always ends with 'How can we save the still weak Indonesian music and so on'. Hopefully, his ambition can be achieved by us who are still alive and fighting for Indonesian music," said Armand.
