Valen DA7's Parents Express Longing, Separated Jakarta-Madura for Months

This happiness is not only felt by Valen, but also by his parents who have always faithfully provided moral support. His father, Muhammad Ali, expressed his pride in seeing his son now recognized by the wider community from various corners of the country.

"Happy, very proud that Valen is known by many people. Valen has become the pride of the whole of Indonesia, especially Pamekasan, Madura. As for prayers, we always pray for our children, especially for our child who is fighting here," explained Muhammad Ali.

It is known that Valen has to undergo a very long and strict quarantine period. He has to temporarily part from the home environment to focus on delivering maximum performances each week. "For 7 months of fighting here, we miss not going home at all," said Muhammad Ali.

The mother, Titik Fujiyanti, also acknowledged that Valen is someone who communicates more with his father during the quarantine period. Although he rarely expresses his feelings directly to his mother, Titik continues to provide full support through prayers that are offered at all times so that Valen can remain consistent in his work.

Throughout the competition, Valen is indeed known as a contestant who often incorporates traditional elements into his performances on the grand stage of DA 7. Despite having to go through various ups and downs during the competition, Valen admitted that he faced all those challenges with sincerity to deliver the best results for his supporters.

"Alhamdulillah there are many traditions that Valen brings to this stage. Every struggle has its ups and downs, but we go through it sincerely," said Valen.

Now that the competition has ended, Valen's focus shifts to the next steps in the dangdut music industry in the homeland. He promises to continue learning and creating new works that can be enjoyed and remembered by the loyal supporters who have voted for him over the past seven months.

"God willing, Valen will continue to create and become even better in the future. Just wait and see what comes next," concluded the 17-year-old teenager.
