JAKARTA - Hanin Dhiya was lined up as Spotify Indonesia Equal Ambassador of The Month in September 2022. This musician from Bogor is plastered on the billboard of Times Square New York, United States as a representative from Indonesia in the Equal program.

Hanin Dhiya's journey as a female musician in the Indonesian industry began in her teens. She started her career in a talent search event in 2014. Even though she was only 8 years old, Hanin had learned a lot of lessons, especially the struggle to make her voice heard in every decision making.

It was a long process for me. Previously, it was quite difficult to convince about the considerations, desires, and decisions I wanted to achieve considering my heart was still a dozen at that time. Also because of the stigma that women seem sometimes still considered incompetent in making a mature decision, said the eldest of 3 children.
