Kamga Mo is not a foreign name in the country's music industry. He debuted as a Tangga personnel in 2004 to bring several hits over ten years and then became a vocal director for many well-known singers.

But in recent years, Kamga has appeared to appear more often as background singers (backing vocals) Maliq & D Essentials on many stages.

Regarding this decision, Kamga admitted that he did not mind at all carrying out his role as a background singer. The main reason is that he claims to be a fan of Angga Puradiredja cs.

"Why do you want it? Because I love Maliq. Even though I started my career together, both in 2005, they were my favorite band from 2005. And I followed their journey and met quite often at events," said Kamga when met in Senayan, South Jakarta recently.

And you could also say Widi Puradiredja, the drummer, was one of my mentors when I started an indie career with Close and Hondo, "he added. . So when Widi suddenly invited me to make, "Do you want to not join Maliq as a vocal backing?" There I was honored (deeply honored) and I wanted to."

Kamga said his position in Maliq was only aimed at one project, but in the end it continued because he felt there was a match.

Talking about his duties as a background singer at Maliq & D Essentials, Kamga said there were basic differences compared to his previous position on the Stairs and other music projects.

The difference is only in his duties. Maybe if the singer's job in front is to serve the audience and lead the team. If the job of the singer behind is to support the band as a whole," he said.

"So maybe the assumption is the same as guitarists, just like bases, just like drummers, one part of an instrument from a band," he added.

When asked further about his role in the creative process of Maliq & D Essentials in his work, Kamga admitted that he had to put certain limits.

"If you save the song, it's impossible for me to dare, because Maliq is really good. I was involved as far as I remember the song Maliq, which is titled Hopefully. There I filled out the backing vocals, on the album RAYA, the album released in 2021, "he concluded.
