Ratifah Binjai Inspired by Tasya DA7, Wants to Prove Her Singing Talent Inherited from Her Father

Kapanlagi.com - Ratifah is one of the youngest contestants performing in Dangdut Academy 8 this time. Although only 14 years old, the contestant from Binjai, North Sumatra, has a strong determination to pursue a career in the dangdut music industry. The entertainment world in the country, especially the dangdut genre, continues to produce new talents ready to captivate the audience, even though Ratifah ultimately did not advance to the next round.

Ratifah revealed that the person who inspires her the most is Tasyah, the champion of D'Academy 7. She admires her idol's struggle to steadfastly pursue her dreams despite facing various negative comments.

"I saw Kak Tasya DA 7. Because she stood tall amidst the barrage of insults, that makes me very proud," said Ratifah when met at the Emtek Indosiar Studio, West Jakarta, on Wednesday (8/7/2026).

The singing talent that Ratifah has is apparently inherited from her father. Since she was a child, she and her sister, Shaki, were introduced to the world of music and trained directly by their father, who is a singer.

2. Singing Talent from Dad

"The talent comes from Dad, passed down to me and my sister. I was just interested, you know, Dad is an all-genre singer, so the first time I was taught music by Dad, it was dangdut music," she explained.

Ratifah also reminisced about the first song she sang when she started learning to sing. That experience still lingers to this day and marks the beginning of her love for the world of singing.

"I liked singing since I was little. The talent comes from Dad, passed down to me and my sister. The first song I sang as a child was 'Cabe-cabean,'" she said.

3. Want to Prove My Abilities

"I also want to succeed alongside my sister, I want to prove to the people who look down on me that I can be successful," Ratifah stated emphatically.

Tasya DA7's success as the champion of D'Academy 7 is certainly a motivation for many other young singers. Meanwhile, Ratifah Binjai shows an unyielding spirit in pursuing her dreams, continuing to fight on the stage of Dangdut Academy 8 after previously experiencing Idola Cilik.
