Young talented singer and actor, Devano Danendra, brings the latest news regarding his career journey in the Indonesian entertainment world. The son of senior singer Iis Dahlia has decided to change the stage name that has made him well-known in the creative industry.

This decision then sparked curiosity about whether his real name in legal documents like ID cards or passports also underwent a change. However, Devano quickly clarified that this change only applies to entertainment purposes or stage affairs, not legally.

"No. Legally, the original name is not removed; it’s just for the stage name," Devano asserted.

What is quite surprising is Devano's admission regarding communication with his family about this matter. Apparently, the significant decision to drop the name "Danendra" from his stage name had not yet been discussed in depth with his parents during the interview. "Not yet, I haven't told them yet," he revealed.
