This man whose full name is Iman Taufik Rachman has hopes that music management in Indonesia will be healthier.
Apart from that, he also wants his music and musicians to be properly rewarded so that musicians can live prosperously, safely and peacefully from their work.
"But the main thing is from the results of his work in the form of royalties and others. So, the income from a gig is only an addition because so that the gig can be made more exclusive," said Imanine to VOI.
