The story of my love in 2008, when I was 21 years old. Back then.... Many criticized my career, especially during my divorce with.... But there are also many who stand behind me to defend, one of them is @glennfredly309, the legend who accepted me to help me spread my wings...showing my different skills in different genres...giving me the opportunity to fly higher...in the entertainment world...with confidence and the artistic skills that I have. When many people scoffed and disagreed with me dueting with kak glend, but kak glend convinced the boss, the producer of Sony Music, that this song together with Dewi Perssik will definitely succeed and BOOM. Well...me myself...used to feel inferior, used to lack self-confidence because I was blind to fashion and blind to MUA, I didn't have friends, and what about the personal problems that haven't been resolved yet????, different from now where everything has been prepared and settled, the show date is the only thing left, back then, not to mention being prepared, they only looked at me with one eye because I was nobody ????. But kak glend motivated me not to feel inferior, you don't need expensive designer clothes, you can still look luxurious and beautiful, same goes for MUA, according to kak glend, then...I tried everything on my own to prepare personal needs like wardrobe and MUA for this love story vclip. With confidence, I prepared myself for shooting with the legend. And at that moment, my prayer...hope I don't disappoint this person who has supported me, GOD...GOD is good...Allah provides sustenance for us...and kak glend can prove that with the success of my Hikayat Cinta BOOM in his time under the Sony Music label. A song that was made in just 3 hours, including the vocal take music created by ka glen and DJ Sumantri alias @sumobeat. Memories, my bro... @sumobeat, a perfectionist and smart organization. Thank you for the everlasting memories that I will never forget, sis... Rest in peace, my legend... Thank you for your work that will always be in our hearts. May you find peace by His side. May the family left behind be given strength and sincerity. Amen... #ripglennfredly #hikayatcintaku
