Often Called Diva, How Repot Is Rossa's Riders?

JAKARTA - Musician riders are often an interesting topic to discuss. The special requests from artists or singers are also very diverse, and of course with various goals as well.

Beyond the technical issues on stage, several musicians determine riders to ensure themselves in a calm state before appearing. However, there are also those who ask for riders to be complicated to see the readiness and seriousness of the event organizers.

Especially for female singers who are often labeled as 'diva', the riders they propose are usually in the spotlight.

Some names like Mariah Carey and Madonna are even known for their complicated riders, namely Carey who asked for mineral water at certain temperatures and Madonna who brought her own bed to the hotel where she was staying.

But what about the Indonesian singers? Rossa, who is often labeled as a diva, does not deny that there are riders who are united with their performances on stage.

Instead of asking complicated riders, the 'Pudar' singer admitted that he chose to work together to facilitate the work of the people around him.

"I always tell my management, looking for something that makes it easy for the committee, not a hassle, but we also don't lack it," said Rossa when met in Semanggi, South Jakarta recently.

For his request backstage, Rossa said he and his team only needed simple things, such as food and drinks, which were quite easy to find.

(Riders backstage) such as food and drinks, anything, standards, those in supermarkets," said Rossa.

"The most mandatory (besides the riders) is the payout," he added.

However, Rossa acknowledged there was a special request for the event committee. He asked that his backstage room not be far from the toilet location.

"Toilet must be close, because I'm beser," he said.
