"Actually, it’s not as smooth as it looks. But what I instill is to practice never getting bored, being creative, patient, sincere, and of course, never stop praying," said Filda DA during a live session with Kapanlagi.com and Indosiar, Friday (18/2/2022).
"For example, if something feels lacking, it means I have to practice again so that tomorrow can be better. Find a song that fits my character before being ready. Because exploring a song must align with our soul," she continued.
