Meli admitted that she didn't want to become a dangdut singer. She explained that she didn't like dangdut and even said, "No way I'll become a dangdut singer." But it turns out she was tricked by her own words.
The reason for this dangdut singer, whose real name is Meli Nuryani, not wanting to become a dangdut singer is because she sees dangdut singers' outfits as too sexy and provocative, and is often looked down upon. "Because the outfits are sexy. Meli used to be a kasidah singer. But eventually she switched to dangdut, and her fortune is here (in dangdut)," she explained to the KapanLagi.com team.
Meli is grateful and no longer cares about licking her own spit. Because, by becoming a dangdut singer, she has the opportunity to reach wide gates of success and make her parents proud.
Still vivid in her memory, when she started diving into dangdut and performing from small stage to small stage, she only received meager payment. But she considered it as a process towards success.
"The payment for the gig was 50 thousand. It was quite good, it went up to 250 thousand. Once it was 500 thousand, wow, it's an extraordinary achievement. (The money) helps support my family's economy and also helps with my pocket money, so I don't have to ask my parents," he said.
Now, Meli has become a famous dangdut singer. Although she is still young, her name is already on par with the top dangdut singers in the country. She was even selected as Indonesia's representative to participate in the biggest dangdut competition in Asia, namely Dangdut Academy Asia 6.
Meli learned many valuable lessons while participating in LIDA 2020. Starting from how to sing properly, how to behave, and even how to dress. She is determined to elevate dangdut music so it is no longer underestimated.
"Melly wants to prove that not all dangdut singers are like that. Dangdut singers also have extraordinary achievements, unlike what they think," she said. She admitted that she is happy, now there are many dangdut competitions that provide opportunities for people to prove themselves. She explained that dangdut is currently very cool.
