Nabila's journey to the D'Academy 8 stage did not go smoothly. The contestant from Mamuju, West Sulawesi, initially failed during the live audition in Sidrap, South Sulawesi.

Despite having to accept the bitter reality, Nabila did not give up. She tried her luck again through the online audition route and eventually succeeded in passing and getting the opportunity to perform in Jakarta.

"First, Nabila auditioned in Sidrap. In Sidrap, Nabila did not pass, but during the online audition, thank God, I passed," said Nabila when met at the Emtek Indosiar Studio, West Jakarta, on Wednesday (8/7/2026).

This success brought her face to face with the judges and alumni of D'Academy, whom she had only seen on television. That moment became an unforgettable experience for Nabila.

"When I arrived in Jakarta, I brought a gift, it was so exciting to meet Kak Arbil, Kak April, my idol, Masya Allah, Kak Syakira as well, and Kak Ika Sugiarti, Mother Mami Depe," she said.

Not only did she come to audition, but Nabila also brought special gifts from her hometown as a form of gratitude to the judges. "Yesterday I brought durian as a gift. I brought durian," she revealed.

Even though she has successfully reached the top 53 of D'Academy 8, Nabila admits she does not want to be quickly satisfied. She is ready to keep learning if her competition journey has to stop.

"God forbid if it stops here. Nabila will continue to learn, carve a career until she becomes big again. If there is a chance to participate again, I will keep going until I can be a champion and develop further," she asserted.
