Kapanlagi.com - Senior musician Ahmad Dhani once again reminds us of the importance of manners and ethics in the relationship between singers and songwriters. According to him, no party holds a higher status in the creative process, whether it be the singer or the songwriter.

"The younger generation of Indonesian music, singers, songwriters, we as seniors must teach, must provide examples of how to have manners between songwriters and singers or singers and songwriters. It must be equal, no one should feel superior," Dhani said when met in the Senayan area, Central Jakarta, on Friday (28/2/2025).

Dhani's statement is not unrelated to the recent controversies occurring in the music industry. He feels that the younger generation often forgets the importance of ethical values in collaboration, especially between singers and songwriters.

As a musician who has been involved in the music industry for a long time, Dhani feels responsible for reminding his juniors. He believes that a harmonious relationship can only be achieved if there is mutual respect among all parties.

"No one should feel of a higher status or feel that they work harder. That should not happen," Dhani emphasized.

1. Ethics from Previous Generations

For Dhani, ethics in music is not something that can be regulated by law, but rather a result of the teachings from previous generations. He believes that values like these need to be continuously taught to remain relevant in the future.

"Ethics cannot be regulated by law; ethics can be created by previous generations. Why do we have such ethics? Because our parents taught us that way," Dhani stated.

2. Representing Musicians & Songwriters

Dhani also mentioned that he often voices his opinions on issues like this not only as a songwriter but also as a performer. He hopes that his views can serve as a reminder for those in the music industry.

"So because I am also a musician, a songwriter, and a performer, I sometimes speak up, not just representing songwriters, because I am a performer," he explained.

3. Open Communication

According to Dhani, one way to maintain good relationships in the music industry is through open communication. He hopes that any conflicts or controversies can be resolved through healthy discussions.

"Therefore, this discussion is good; networking can make the situation more directed, more conducive in the coming year, hopefully improving after Eid," he concluded.
