Despite various limitations, he continues to strive to channel his creativity and present new works for his fans. Zul expressed his gratitude for being able to launch a new song from within prison.

"Because indeed, as an inmate, my access is very limited, we can only watch TV in general, as provided by the prison authorities," said Zul at the Special Class IIA Gunung Sindur Prison, Bogor, Tuesday (5/11/2024).

"As for other matters from the Kartamakala party that are dealing with the prison authorities," he continued.

He feels supported by the Special Class IIA Gunung Sindur Prison, which provides permission and facilities for the production of his work. The launch of this new song was facilitated by Gunung Sindur Prison on Tuesday (5/11/2024). Zul explained that the prison authorities played a significant role in smoothing the release process of the song.

"So, it is actually the prison authorities who truly provided support and paved the way for me to be here. I am really very happy," explained Zul.

In addition to channeling creativity, Zul expressed another reason for releasing this song, which is to help his family's economy. "There are many considerations. The most important one is personal consideration for the economy as well, hopefully it can help my family's economy too," he said.

She hopes the song can be an additional source of income that can lighten the family's burden. The production process of this song is not easy, especially since it requires strict permissions from the prison authorities. According to Zul, the licensing issue is a challenge in itself, especially during the filming for the music video. 

"It actually took quite a while, because there were many considerations from the prison authorities, especially regarding permissions, because there are things that cannot be done there, especially shooting the music video. But thank God we have received permission from the gentleman," she revealed.

Zul also feels grateful because the prison authorities not only granted permission but even provided studio facilities. "It's not about being given freedom; instead, I was encouraged to create. In fact, from the prison authorities, I was facilitated with a studio. It's not just this song; previously, I also made a song on the Lapas Gunung Sindur YouTube channel, there’s a song titled 'Hari Jadi Pengayoman', that’s my work," Zul explained.
