JAKARTA - Charly van Houten has been out of ST12 since 2012, but he is still performing songs from the band until now, both performing alone and with Setia Band.

Not without reason, Charly said that almost all the songs that had been released by ST12 were the works he wrote. Therefore, there is no reason for him not to sing ST12 songs.

"Because almost 99 percent of those who composed songs from the ST12 era were Charly," said Charly van Houten httplansir Instagram @lambegosiip, Wednesday, January 10.

"So, all the songs in ST12 to Setia Band must be performed, because it is my right to perform the song," he continued.

In fact, Charly thought that it was the former band who had to ask for permission when performing his songs.

The 44-year-old singer also recounted how she left ST12 and formed a Setia Band.

Tahun 2012 saya keluar dari ST 12, begitu juga Pepeng dan seluruh manajemen itu keluar, buatlah Setia Band. Dan bukan hanya crewnya tapi seluruh lagunya, kata Charly.

"So, Setia Band is an incarnation from ST 12 actually, it's the same. Only Setia Band has a wider music, because they dare to play various sounds, the song is the same," concluded Charly van Houten.
