Kapanlagi.com - Talented young producer, Alief Reynaldi, who is a graduate of the Electronic Music Producer Contest (EMPC) 2021, has finally realized his dream after winning first place. Alief released his debut single titled Lights, featuring renowned Indonesian singer, Mirriam Eka.

KLovers must be familiar with one of the singers who is synonymous with short hair, Rinni Wulandari. She has contributed many works to the local music industry.
