Dongker Personnel Unveils Another Side of Jason Ranti During Collaboration

Having the opportunity to collaborate with a superstar musician like Jason Ranti is certainly a pride for Dongker. However, behind that, there was a sense of awkwardness and even a bit of fear at the beginning of their meeting.

Arno Zarror, the vocalist of Dongker, admitted that he felt starstruck and worried about the image of Jason Ranti, whom he knew as a very creative and sometimes unpredictable person. He was afraid that he might not be able to keep up or might make his idol uncomfortable.

"I was starstruck back then. I was scared because I thought he might be arrogant, but not arrogant, more like very creative. I was worried, 'Eh, why does he look like that?' You know, something like that. I felt embarrassed. I felt embarrassed. 'Eh, why is it like that?'," Arno revealed at the Kapanlagi Youniverse office.

"It turns out he is really nice. I mean, he knows the level of joking, the level of seriousness, and even the level of his bad mood," he said.

A similar sentiment was expressed by Delpi Suhariyanto. The guitarist highlighted another side of Jason Ranti that may not be widely known, which is his discipline. According to Delpi, in comparison, Jeje is actually much more disciplined than the members of Dongker as a whole.

"But he is very disciplined, Mas. It could be said that Dongker as a whole is more disciplined than Mas Jeje. Maybe because, maybe because there is Toyeng too. Toyeng is the one, the roadman," said Delpi.

Dongker also feels lucky because they met Jeje at this phase of his life, where he is much calmer now. According to the stories they heard, Jeje in the past was a much more reactionary figure. However, the version of Jeje they know is a wiser and more thoughtful person.

"Because according to these people, Mas, there is Mas Jeje, so there are two, what is it, his life has two phases like that. Because before, before he met us, Mas Jeje was probably known for his wildness. And now he tends to be calmer," he said.

"And we know him as Mas Jeje, the calm version, right? The calm version that, according to him, used to respond to people immediately, very reactionary, you know? But now he thinks first, as he said, and we feel that in his calm phase, it’s very comfortable," Delpi concluded.
