Now Famous, Evi Masamba Used to be a Maid - Paid Rp 35,000 for Her First Performance Evi Masamba (credit: instagram.com/evi_masamba_real)

Kapanlagi.com - Evi Masamba reminisces about her past before becoming an artist in the capital city when she became a guest star on the show Nih Kita Kepo recently. Evi, who is now known as a talented dangdut singer, has actually done various types of jobs in order to survive.

"I've done all kinds of jobs. I've been a babysitter, a maid, and I've also sold second-hand clothes. What else could I do? If we don't make money, we won't eat," she said to Nikita Mirzani as quoted from Youtube Trans TV Official, (5/2).

Living with her grandmother, Evi revealed how difficult her life was back then. She even had to give up her education. "Especially when I was taken care of by my grandmother, it was really difficult to have enough to eat. I didn't continue school. At that time, I only went up to 3rd grade of elementary school," she continued.

1. Paid Rp 35 thousand

When trying to be a singer and performing at events, Evi admitted that the first payment she received was no more than 50 thousand. For her, that was already a big number because it could fulfill her needs for food.

"Back then it was 35 thousand, around 2007 or 2006 if I'm not mistaken. 35 thousand was already extraordinary. It could already cover my meals back then," she said.

2. Motivation to Change Fate

Evi Masamba's struggle to be in her current position is also motivated by her desire to prove to her mother, who left her for 16 years, that she is doing fine.

"My intention to participate in the competition is because I want to let my mother know that my sister and I are doing well. Because she left me for 16 years, if I'm not mistaken," Evi Masamba emphasized.
