Kunto Aji's Musical Side Influenced These 2 Musicians
JAKARTA In an interview session with Vincent and Desta on Vindes' Youtube, Kunto Aji was asked about some of the best songs of all time.
However, among these answers, the singer of the song Rehat also mentioned two musicians who influenced the musical side.
"If the reference from the mother at that time, Eric happened to be unplugged. That used to be the CD that was played continuously in the car, and that's what I think influenced my musical side indirectly," said Kunto Aji.
"One more thing, Sheila Majid. Wow, I'm grateful to be heard by songs like that when I was little," he continued.
Although the two references collided, they were reflected in the works they made. For example, songs on the Mantra album.
The album, which was released in 2018, has a number of explorations of other genres even though it is still in the corridor of pop music.
Through his experiment on the album, no need to be surprised if he reaped positive responses from a number of media. It didn't stop there, Mantra also won the Indonesian Music Award in the Best-Best Album category in 2019.
