Kapanlagi.com - Behind the success she has achieved now, it turns out that there are many stories of struggle that Dewi Perssik has. One of them is when she had to stay in a simple boarding house in an area in Jakarta.

"I used to rent a room for 400 thousand rupiahs per month in Jembatan Lima, there was no air conditioning, just plywood," Dewi Perssik said as quoted from a video uploaded on the Trans7 Official YouTube account some time ago.

Not only about her place of residence, the singer from Jember, East Java also shared her struggle to earn money to be able to eat at that time.

1. Get 20 Thousand Rupiah to Eat

When she was still living in a boarding house, Dewi Perssik admitted that she often hung out with street children. Together with them, DePe looked for money to eat. In one day, she could get 20 thousand to 50 thousand if lucky.

"There are 5 street children friends of Dewi Perssik on the bridge. So, I like to hang out with them to get money. We will give the money to someone, and that person will give money to me. In a day, I can get 20 thousand, 25 thousand, even 50 thousand in the past for food," she said.

2. Willing to Sleep in the Studio for Recording
