"I don't mind if the place has no AC, whatever the place is like, it doesn't matter to me, as long as there is a smoking area and I can be alone, in quotes not crowded," he said.

The need for a personal area is apparently closely related to his contemplation process before going on stage. Nugie needs quiet time to focus his thoughts, do vocal or instrument warm-ups, and practice lightly with his fellow musicians.

3. Feeling Awkward

"Because usually when I want to perform, I need contemplation to calm myself, to practice a bit, warm up, and jam with my friends," he said.

His relaxed attitude towards the smoking area often makes the committee feel awkward or worried. However, Nugie doesn't mind being placed anywhere, even in locations that might be less comfortable.

4. Very Simple

"Yes, the place can be anywhere, sometimes they themselves feel hesitant, 'Sir, our place is like this.' 'It's okay, it can be behind the AC,' Usually if it's buildings, in a ballroom, the place has to be outside, outdoor, hot, I have no problem," he said.

This singer reiterated that his list of riders is indeed very simple and easy to fulfill. He never burdens the event organizers with excessive requests.

5. No Need to Complicate
