Fanny Soegi Shares About Soegi Bornean Band, Calls the Band Greedy - Forced to Perform 7 Days After Her Mother's Death

Kapanlagi.com - The Twitter world suddenly became lively after Fanny Soegi shared a lengthy post on her personal account @fannysoegi. The singer, who is also the former vocalist of the band Soegi Bornean, revealed facts about the song Asmaralibrasi, which is her work with the band Soegi Bornean.

In her tweet, Fanny revealed that the creator of the song Asmaralibrasi did not receive their rightful earnings and had to borrow money to pay for their child's school. Meanwhile, the revenue from the song popularized by the band consisting of Fanny, Aditya, Damar, and Bagas is substantial.

"Just imagine, the song Asma that you hear everywhere, the creator had to borrow money to pay for their child's school. The royalties from this song are no joke, over half a billion, but the people who have no rights get the most and it's not transparent," wrote Fanny.

"People who have no rights can buy 2 cars at once, expensive guitars, and live extravagantly. Meanwhile, the creator of the song Asma is still renting in Jogja, and the roof is leaking again.
It's not the amount that I emphasize, but your conscience. Bands are so greedy, it's not cool at all," she continued.

1. Prioritize Justice

Fanny also revealed that she was once reminded by someone when she was about to speak out about this. However, she remained steadfast in her stance and prioritized a sense of justice.

"I still remember very well when I wanted to speak out about this, there was a remark "Fanny, don't you forget that there are important people behind me?" Yes, I know you are journalists, even though I am alone, I am not afraid, I still hold on to a sense of justice," she wrote.

"I still remember very well when I wanted to leave that band and was confronted by the HAKI people, I was required to pay for my own name, "Soegi" if I left with a new entity. There’s a recording of that too," Fanny continued.

She also explained the origin of the name Soegi Bornean, which took her last name in the band. It turns out, she was originally a solo singer, but was still reluctant to perform alone, so a band was eventually formed.

"Before becoming a band, the initial project was me as a soloist. But I wasn't ready for solo performances, so that name came about. Even now, me, mas Bagas & mas Damar, we are still in the form of a band even though we use the name Fanny Soegi," she revealed.

2. Forced to Perform During My Mother's 7-Day Mourning

After he left the band Soegi Bornean, it was actually the old band he left that continued to use his name. However, Fanny did not want to make a big deal out of it, even though the pain still lingers in his memory until now.

"I still vividly remember the feeling of my mother's 7-day mourning, I was forced to perform with painful words," he recalled.

"It felt very heartbreaking to lose my mother at the same time. There was a point where I wanted to end my life because I was truly alone, without my father and mother. I will never forget how you treated me for the rest of my life. You patriarchal men, corrupt, shameless," he continued.

Now Fanny admits that he is no longer afraid of any threats. He still plays in a band with Bagas and Damar, who are also ex-members of Soegi Bornean, but they use the name Fanny Soegi as their group and are under Vindestwitt.
