JAKARTA - Bernadya Ribka is one of the singers who received the most nominations for the 2024 Indonesian Music Awards (AMI) this year.

She was nominated for five categories, namely Best Album, Best Pop Female Solo Artist, Best Pop Song Creator, Best Pop Album, and Best Production Work.

Bernadya, who released her first album, Life Must Survive on June 23, said she was happy with her achievements this time. Moreover, her participation in AMI 2023 in the Best Newcomer category has not given her the opportunity to bring home the trophy.

"So last year was the first time I (entered the nomination) of the Best Newcomer, then at that time I didn't win, but at that time I was very grateful to be appreciated like that," said Bernadya when met at Senayan, Central Jakarta, Tuesday, October 15.

The 20-year-old singer admitted that many of her closest people had predicted that there would be many nominations for her, but she had no expectations of entering the main categories such as Best Album and Best Production Work.

"When I left, all of them said, 'a lot of money came in', but still, I was nervous. And the visit was in a category that I didn't expect, so I'm very, very grateful," he said.

Asked further about its potential to bring home the first AMI Awards, Bernadya admitted that she could not make predictions. All names nominated are said to be entitled to take home the trophy.

"But everyone is cool. I think everything deserves the Ami Awards. So to win or not, it's a bonus," said Bernadya.

For information, for the Best Album and Best Pop Album categories, Bernadya was nominated for her album, entitled Relieve it, Life Must Keep Running.

Meanwhile, for the category of Best Pop Female Solo Artist, Best Pop Song Creator, and Best Best Production Work, Bernadya was nominated for her song entitled Untungnya, Life Must Keep Running.
