Prinsa Mandagie Finally Clarifies About 'Brotherhood' with Dougy Mandagi The Temper Trap

"No, we are not related. That's just one clan, that's the Manado clan," he explained with a smile. 

He admitted that since the beginning of his career in the music industry, questions about his relationship with Dougy Mandagi have indeed never been absent in every interview.

However, instead of feeling disturbed, the singer of Bertahan Sendiri responded to it casually. "It's okay if I want to be related to Dougy Mandagi, an international singer!" he said while laughing. 

This relaxed response reflects Prinsa's open personality and his ability not to be burdened by public perceptions. Prinsa himself is known as one of the talented young soloists who consistently presents works with a strong musical color.

This singer from Bandung released the single "Bertahan Sendiri" (Standing Alone) last April, which immediately caught the attention of listeners due to its honest and emotional lyrics. The song serves as a reflection on the struggles of someone enduring an unbalanced relationship.

Interestingly, the song "Bertahan Sendiri" has also become one of the most personal works in Prinsa's career journey. The song was produced by senior musician Tohpati and co-written with Clara Riva, resulting in a blend of arrangements and lyrics that touch the heart. The success of this song further solidifies Prinsa's position as a singer with a strong vocal character and message.

Since the release of the song, Prinsa's name has become widely recognized, not only for the quality of her music but also for her warm and genuine personality. She is known to be close to her fans and often shares personal stories through social media, including funny anecdotes like the misunderstanding about the Mandagi surname.

With the positive public response to her works, many are starting to look forward to Prinsa's next steps in the domestic music industry. Although she hasn't given any definite hints, many suspect that she is preparing something new. "Right now I'm just focusing, but just pray that I can give new works again soon," Prinsa stated.
