No Gigs, Ian Kasela Will Sell His Most Historic Glasses

Kapanlagi.com - The vocalist of the band Radja, Ian Kasela is feeling the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Ian and his band had to cancel several gigs during the pandemic. Despite having a busy schedule for Radja's performances in 2020.

Due to the lack of gigs, Ian Kasela's income has decreased. Ian has been trying various ways to generate income during the pandemic. Apart from organizing virtual concerts and changing his lifestyle, Ian Kasela plans to sell one of his glasses collections.

"I've been thinking about it and my friends within the band have also suggested it. I said let's wait a few months ahead, if we are forced to, we will give it a try," said Ian Kasela on Trans TV, South Jakarta, recently.

1. High Historical Value

Ian Kasela plans to sell glasses that have a high historical value. It can be said that these glasses have accompanied him since the beginning of his career in the Indonesian music industry.

"These glasses have been with me, the ones I'm currently using may only last for a year or two. But there are some that have been with me for several years and have been through hundreds of performances," he said.

"So, glasses are really my character. Although there have been changes now, there were glasses that really accompanied me during long tours when I was with Radja. So, I might consider their historical value," added Ian Kasela.

2. Countless Collections

Coincidentally, Ian Kasela has a collection of glasses. Since his career in the Indonesian music industry, Ian has been one of the singers who always buys glasses. Especially when his band performs outside the region or abroad.

"They're countless. Because for decades, whenever I go somewhere, I can't count how many glasses I've bought. I buy them based on my personal preference, not because of the brand or anything. If I like them, I buy them," said Ian Kasela.

3. Not Determining the Price

Meanwhile, Ian Kasela has not set a price for the glasses he wants to sell. What is clear is that the price is not far from the auction price of glasses at a social event some time ago. Previously, Ian had also auctioned his glasses at a social action event.

"If we refer to what I said during the fundraising, the value was up to 200 million. Well, maybe the value is not far from that. It depends on the interest, who knows if there is someone who has high interest and high social awareness, wants to help at the same time. Anyone who is capable and interested," Ian Kasela concluded.

Now for KLovers who are still productive outside the house, it is important to always adhere to health protocols. #RememberMother'sMessage, wear a mask, maintain distance, and regularly wash hands with soap.
