Rafly, who is affectionately called Afi, performed two dangdut songs during the audition: Cinta Hitam and Kejora. He admitted that he felt a bit nervous before performing but never expected to pass the first stage.

2. Departing from Bandung
The journey to the audition was not easy for Rafly. He traveled at night from Bandung and arrived at the audition location at dawn, without having a chance to rest.
"I arrived at dawn, went straight here. But I went directly from Bandung to here," Rafly recounted his struggle.
3. Wanting to Change Destiny
His participation in this audition is not without reason. Rafly confessed that he has long dreamed of joining D'Academy, but only this year could he take a step further. He hopes to change his destiny through this event.
"I want to change my destiny," Rafly expressed.
4. Support from Family
Although not a professional singer, Rafly has a great love for dangdut music. Full support from his family also serves as a special motivation for him to participate in this event.
"Thank God for all the support," he said.

When asked about his hopes, Rafly couldn't hide his emotional feelings. He dedicates this step to his late father, who always wanted him to become a professional singer.
"My hope is to change my fate and make my parents proud, especially my late father who is no longer here and really wanted me to be a professional and quality singer," he said.
