Before announcing his hiatus, Fiersa Besari shared interesting insights about the dynamics of his career as a musician. The renowned indie singer acknowledges that although exhaustion often strikes, the spirit of his fans always serves as his motivation.

However, amidst this exhaustion, Fiersa Besari finds an invaluable source of motivation. ""But what keeps me excited is meeting the people who come to watch me perform. So, that's my reason for overcoming boredom. When exchanging energy with the audience, it feels absolutely amazing."

This confession illustrates the dilemma faced by Fiersa Besari as a musician. On one hand, the physical demands of the stage routine feel heavy. On the other hand, the emotional connection with fans provides an irreplaceable inner satisfaction.

The singer of the song APRIL admitted that, although there is positive energy received from his fans, his life situation has now changed. "I now have a child and am building my small family," he expressed through his personal YouTube channel, marking a significant shift in his life priorities.

"I want to make the most of my time left this year before he starts his education," Fiersa added. This certainly puts pressure on his desire to focus more on his role as a father.

This multitalented musician also realizes that his diverse activities, including music, outdoor activities, and content creation, have taken up a lot of time from his family. "If I continue with all three, the activities for the family, especially for the child, will definitely decrease," he explained, revealing the dilemma he faces. This awareness drives Fiersa Besari to give more attention to his family.

In a firm statement, he denied speculation that this decision is merely a gimmick. "Is this a gimmick? No," he asserted, emphasizing the seriousness of the steps he has taken.

Regarding his future career, Fiersa Besari admitted that he does not have definite plans. "I don’t know, I have to come back or not, I will return or not, I am not planning any concerts like before," he revealed. This statement indicates that Fiersa is opening up the possibility for a quite long hiatus, without providing certainty about his return to the stage.
