Limitations are not obstacles, First Disabled Rapper in Indonesia Dani Aditya Releases Second Single

Kapanlagi.com - Limitations are not a barrier to stop creating. This saying is perfectly implemented in the figure of Dani Aditya. Known as a humorous person because he was raised on the stand-up comedy stage, this 30-year-old comedian does not stop creating, even with a new format.

Dani Aditya officially entered the music world after recently releasing his debut hip-hop single titled RELAX. Not stopping there, Dani continues his journey as the first disabled rapper in Indonesia by releasing his second single titled LARAKU.

1. Proof in the Midst of Limitations

As a person with Cerebral Palsy, Dani Aditya has a trademark with a wheelchair that always faithfully accompanies him in any condition, including during stand-up comedy. This health disorder also makes his verbal ability tend to be different from most people. However, all these shortcomings actually make Dani more confident by releasing this rap single. 

2. Collaborating with Beloved Wife

Not alone, in this second single Dani Aditya invited a collaborator who is his own wife, Dian Desty Wijaya. They both consider the music production process as a very interesting project.

“Initially, the beginning of being involved in the music world was just to follow netizens' challenges, but then I thought why not take it seriously? Finally, I tried to create a Q&A on Instagram to find a Music Producer and eventually introduced to Emes Movos who made my first single 'Relax' and then I made the second single with my wife titled 'Laraku'," Dani and Dian explained.

3. Story of a Struggle Full of Obstacles

The single LARAKU is also the original soundtrack of a short film titled KILA produced and directed by Dani Aditya. This song tells the story of a woman's struggle against a disease she suffers from. This condition makes the woman unable to accept love from anyone, including her own friend.

It's not Dani Aditya's name if he doesn't imply moral messages in his work. He embeds some motivational words in his rap part to encourage listeners to always be strong in facing obstacles.

4. Undergoing Production Process Amidst the Pandemic

Another obstacle that arises is the unstable condition due to the pandemic. The production process of the music video LARAKU was carried out with these limitations by combining scenes from the short film and shooting in the studio. This combination was successfully united in an epic way by the team from Malang City, Movos.

Through his own limitations and the production process, Dani expresses a deep message for everyone to keep moving forward no matter what obstacles they face. Check out the inspiring music work by Dani Aditya below.
