JAKARTA - The United States and Britain have been qibla music for a long time. The era is growing, countries with other major influences are starting to spread, including Japan and South Korea.

Indonesian musicians also often dream of going international by targeting the market of these countries as the gateway. NIKI and Rich Brian are increasingly known to the world after showing off in the United States, as are Anggun, who is already wara-wiri at French television.

In South Korea, there are also Dita Karang, Carmen to Kim VVUP who penetrate the ideals of many people as K-Pop idols. Until now, there are still many Indonesian talents who dream of debuting as part of a Korean idol group.

But recently there has also been an expansion into the Bamboo Curtain Country, China. As the second most populous country, China should indeed be looked at from the world side of entertainment. Moreover, the development of this country is very rapid in terms of cultural recognition through music, film, culinary to increasingly advanced technology.

Indahkus, a singer from Indonesia is one of the things that has succeeded in becoming an idol in China. Starting from his participation in the survival show titled e-Pop Unity, he began to attract many fans there.

Just like most talents in the country, initially he also intended to become a K-Pop idol. But when the offer to participate in the event came, he saw an interesting opportunity. Competition to become an idol in China is as strict as in South Korea.

In China, he is known as Yinda, which is taken from his real name. The singer, who also has the nickname Little Blue, is fluent in Mandarin, showing his seriousness in starting a career in China.

Meanwhile rapper Ramengvrl also tried his luck on Chinese TV shows. He participated in the Rap of China event, a program that brought together rappers for battle rap. Ramengvrl was present as a non-chinese participant who managed to steal the attention.

Not only appearing on TV shows, this rapper from Jakarta also held tours in several cities in China. He got warm responses from several shows and festivals that became a place for him to show off.

The two artists above have not fully dedicated themselves to a full career in China. However, their existence cannot be underestimated. The expansion of Indonesian talents to China is one thing to be proud of and has great potential.

With the abundance of talent in the country, the way for musicians to go global is getting wider. It takes foresight, connection and courage to expand the reach of listeners by spreading existence abroad.
