Khinan, a Contestant of Dangdut Academy 8, Turns Out to be the Daughter of Febro, an Alumni of DA1

Kapanlagi.com - The stage of Dangdut Academy 8 was once again enlivened by new talents who caught the judges' attention. One of them is Khinan, an audition participant who has a family connection with one of the alumni of the talent search event, Afan.

Khinan's presence became the spotlight after Afan directly introduced his cousin to the judges. "Be enthusiastic, you have to be enthusiastic. Because this is my cousin," said Afan, showing his support for Khinan during the judges' audition.

1. The Journey of Music Education and Love for Dangdut

Khinan is not a stranger to the music world. She revealed that she has just completed her education at a vocational high school, specifically at a music arts school in Surabaya.

During her time at vocational school, Khinan chose the music major and focused on playing the saxophone. "Since entering vocational school," Khinan replied when Soimah asked when she started learning the saxophone. Dewi Perssik confirmed that Khinan has been learning the saxophone for about three years.

Although her educational background tends to lean towards pop or jazz genres, Khinan has strong reasons to dive into the world of dangdut. She admitted that her interest in dangdut has grown since childhood due to being accustomed to that musical environment.

2. The Artistic Blood from Her Father, Febro, a Dangdut Academy 1 Alumni

Not only Afan, Khinan also turns out to have a lineage of musicians from her father. Afan confirmed that Khinan's father is also a singer.

Furthermore, it was revealed that Khinan's father is Febro, a singer who is also an alumnus of the first season of Dangdut Academy. "A stage singer too. An alumnus of the Dangdut Academy, Mae," Afan explained to the judges.

Soimah also confirmed that Febro is Afan's father's brother, which means Khinan is indeed the niece of Afan's father and a cousin of Afan himself. "Oh yes, so she's Febro's child," said Soimah after hearing the name Febro.

3. Stunning Performance and Judges' Praise

Khinan's performance while singing the song 'Laguku' successfully caught the attention of the judges. Wika Salim specifically praised Khinan's vocal strength.

"In this song, Nabila (Khinan's nickname) your power is quite good, I like it," said Wika Salim, appreciating Khinan's vocal quality.

Dewi Perssik added, "In this song, your voice is thick, right?" highlighting Khinan's distinctive vocal characteristics.

Soimah also felt the positive energy from Khinan's performance, although she acknowledged that Khinan's potential could still be developed further. "There's also that energy, you know. Even though it's not maximized yet, there's already energy. So even if trained, it seems like it won't be a hassle," said Soimah. This praise is not without reason; Khinan demonstrated good vocal control and the ability to convey the song's emotions, even though this is her first big stage.

The judges see raw talent that is ready to be honed into a future dangdut star. They are optimistic that with the right guidance, Khinan could become one of the contestants to watch in Dangdut Academy 8. Khinan's presence on this audition stage not only carries her family's big name but also proves that she has her own talent and charisma. Her stunning performance at the beginning of this audition is a valuable asset for Khinan to advance further in the competition.
