2. Profile of Selfi Yamma

KLovers, the name Selfi Yamma is certainly familiar to fans of dangdut in the country. The singer, whose full name is Selfiyani, was born on September 7, 1999, and is known as one of the shining female talents in the Indonesian dangdut music industry. In addition to singing, Selfi is also active as a presenter with a warm and communicative demeanor.

Selfi Yamma's career journey has been truly colorful. We surely remember how she successfully emerged as the champion of Liga Dangdut Indonesia 2018. Her distinctive voice and strong emotional delivery captured attention from the very beginning of the auditions. From the LIDA stage, her journey continued until she was trusted to be a commentator on D Academy Asia 6, and now she appears as a coach on Dangdut Academy 7.

Selfi's singing talent has apparently been evident since a very young age. She started singing at the age of four and has continued to hone her skills over time. This singer, born in 1999, is known for her perseverance, often performing from stage to stage long before her name became widely recognized as it is now.

Interestingly, before participating in LIDA 2018, Selfi was also involved in the making of music videos for regional songs from Sulawesi such as Ana' Risampeang, Indo' Ambo, Mangngittu Marilaleng, and several other regional songs. During each of her performances at that time, Selfi was always accompanied by her father, who faithfully took her to various competitions and events.

Although she faced restrictions from her father due to her status as the first child and a daughter, Selfi eventually managed to convince her family. Her bravery paid off. Not only did she become the champion of LIDA, but Selfi Yamma also successfully won the title of champion of Dangdut Academy Asia 2018. This achievement proves that Selfi's talent is recognized not only at the national level but also in Asia.
