JAKARTA - Busy with behind-the-scenes activities in recent years, Pepeng ex-Naif is preparing for his new music project. At the same time, he has also changed his stage name so far with the name Franki Indrasmoro.

Through an upload on his personal Instagram account, Franki listened to a snippet of the song that will be the material for his solo debut.

"I'm really not patient! Here are the results of my mixed first preview of my solo project debut," Franki Indrasmoro wrote in a caption for his Instagram upload, Saturday, January 20.

"There still needs to be a little improvement, and we are still looking for the right date to release it. Given that February is a month that is said to be a Democratic Party," he continued.

In his debut single later, Franki will play drums as well as sing. It's nothing new for him, considering his position in Naif is also the vocals of the background, in addition to being a drummer.

For production matters, Franki was assisted by Reney and Stella from Scaller as producers. Meanwhile, Irvan Natadiningrat acted as a vocal director.

"At my age I have never seriously positioned myself as the main vocalist in a song I wrote. This time I was upcoming my solo project single, my producer duo, @reneykaramoy & @stellagareth, directing me to be the main vocalist. Because I wasn't good, I finally asked for the help of the expert, Kang @irvnat, to be my vocal director," wrote Franki.

Meanwhile, regarding the change in stage names, Franki mentioned that Pepeng's name, which is more widely known to fans, is still used as a daily nickname.

This time I will use my real name, Franki Indrasmoro. What about Pepeng's name? Yes, of course Pepeng remains my casual name. Daily nickname," he said.
