Release of First Single 'Itu Kamu', Rey Bong Star of 'DARI JENDELA SMP' Reveals His Confusion

Kapanlagi.com - Success as an actor, Rey Bong is now spreading his wings as a singer. The star of the soap opera DARI JENDELA SMP admits that he wants to step out of his comfort zone by releasing his first single titled Itu Kamu.

"I'm really happy because what has been prepared from a long time ago, the preparations were also quite heavy for me because this is also the first time (singing) for me. I accept this challenge, I try it, so that I'm not always in my comfort zone," said Rey Bong when met in Depok, West Java, on Tuesday (26/10).

In the midst of his busy schedule filming the soap opera, he also has to take vocal lessons to give the best results. "The process is quite heavy for me. Because I'm really starting from scratch, I take vocal lessons, I learn about music, the rest I explore on my own, I often listen to songs and chat with my friends, I sing with my friends," he said.

Itu Kamu is a song created by Virgoun and Budi Doremi which tells the story of someone who loves their partner sincerely and is willing to do anything to make them happy.

"The title is Itu Kamu. I consider this song to be what Kak Budi and Bang Virgoun actually mean, it's a love song where you express what's in your heart if you really love this person as sincerely as possible," said Rey Bong.

1. Expressing Distress

Rey Bong also said that he had experienced something like that. Even when he first heard this song, he admitted that he was feeling distressed and really immersed in the song.

"When I listened to this song, I was feeling distressed. When I was feeling distressed and heard this song, the lyrics were really painful. There are lyrics that struggle to be faithful, that's me. So, the one who struggles is only you, the person you sincerely love is just fine. When I was in a distressed phase, I considered it very painful, this song is powerful," he explained.

As the songwriter, Virgoun sees that Rey Bong has great potential to become a great musician. But because this is still the beginning, there is still much that Rey Bong needs to learn.

"At his young age, he still has a lot of time to learn and develop himself. So, in my opinion, this is not the final best result, but I believe he will become a good musician. This is still his debut, in the future, I am sure he will create even cooler works," concluded Virgoun.
