April, whose full name is Afriyani Mida Soleha, grew up in a simple family environment. She has known the meaning of struggle from an early age. To help her family's economy, she often accompanied her father busking from one place to another.
From her experience singing on the streets, April not only honed her vocal abilities but also developed a deep love for dangdut music. The vocal character shaped by this experience became a valuable asset for April to advance further in her music career.
Armed with talent, hard work, and unwavering support from her parents, April bravely decided to participate in the talent search event Dangdut Academy 7. Her consistent performances throughout the competition succeeded in impressing the judges and the audience, leading her to achieve 3rd place.

Interestingly, the single 'Menyala' has a very personal story behind its creation. This song was written directly by the renowned musician Charly van Houten. Charly was inspired by April's winding life journey, from childhood to her current success.
Through the lyrics, Charly van Houten tries to depict the struggle of a child who has been trying to help her family since she was young, until she finally managed to achieve her dreams. "I wrote the lyrics roughly based on April's life story. Since she was little, she has been fighting to help her parents, and now at such a young age, she has succeeded in reaching this point," said Charly van Houten.
He added, "It's like from having no light, now April is already shining." This expression symbolically represents April's transformation from a limited condition to a figure that shines on the entertainment stage.
For April, the process of recording the single 'Menyala' became an unforgettable experience. After years of singing on the streets, she finally got to feel the atmosphere of a recording studio to work on her debut work.
"Oh my, I'm so happy to finally have a single. I'm really touched. I used to sing on the streets, and now I can sing in a recording studio. Bismillah, I hope everyone accepts the song," said April with deep emotion. The joy and gratitude are clearly reflected in this young singer for the opportunity she has received.
'Menyala' is not just a debut song, but also a symbol of the journey, hope, and dreams of a child who never gives up on her circumstances. It is hoped that April's debut work can inspire many people to continue fighting for their dreams, while also marking the beginning of her long journey in coloring the Indonesian dangdut music industry.
