Productive Behind Bars, Here are 8 Latest Photos of Zul Zivilia Who Admits to Having Been Desperate During His Sentence - Now Launching a New Single

Not only the song Setia Walau Tak di Sampingmu, Zul revealed that he is currently preparing several other songs that are also ready to be heard by the public. These works are proof that he remains productive and dedicated behind bars.

During his time in prison, Zul initially experienced difficult times and felt hopeless. He admitted that in the early days of his sentence, he even wanted to stop making music and withdraw from activities related to music. 

"In the early days, people already knew I was a musician, but at that time I felt hopeless here, I didn't want to play music anymore," said Zul at the Special Class IIA Gunung Sindur Prison, Bogor, Tuesday (5/11/2024).

Zul even requested to be placed in the kitchen so he could help cook, or to become a student in the religious guidance program available there. However, the prison officials encouraged Zul to continue to create in the field of music art.

"I even asked to be placed in the kitchen, to help cook food, or to join as a santri, coincidentally there is religious training here. But Mr. Rangga said, 'we need you for this music art, so you can't go anywhere,'" explained Zul.

The decision of the prison authorities to keep Zul involved in this music art activity apparently provided him with new motivation. Although initially feeling hopeless due to the long sentence, Zul's spirit to create again grew.

Zul's feeling of despair began from his inability to widely publish his musical works. 

However, now he feels that all his doubts and anxieties have been answered with the support to continue creating even from within the prison.
