About
I was born in Jakarta, Indonesia on 16th of February 1981. I played the piano since I was five. Right now i’m a singer, songwriter, musician. I’m an idealist, who’s more and more trying to live in the real world. I recently moved to Berlin to continue doing my music. The most important thing i value in my songs are first the lyrics, then the music, because i’m also a poet, tho’ now some people might think the word poetry as a bit over the top, but hell, i am, and i’d like to share my views of this world. But not to say the music is not important. To me, the music is the part which i can always work on, it can always get better, and i’m always trying to learn to make it better and that keeps me going…
When I first came to Berlin last May 2008, I started out by playing music on the streets of Berlin with full equipment in the hopes that i wil get lots of gigs in the time coming. I did it as well when i was in Indonesia (playing music on the streets), i’m sure some of you who knew thought i was wacked! Anyway, for those of you in Jakarta or Indonesia, you might know me from some Tv commercials or as a VJ in a music programm, but so you know, it has always been music.
Right now, I have routine gigs at Tacheles @2nd Floor, Oranienburgerstr. Berlin, Mitte. Every Friday and Saturday. I play on 10 pm onwards.
(for other gig info’s it’s better to just check www.myspace.com/musickatinka for now.)
I am a person who honours good critics, but i dislike those type of ‘unthoughtful’ critics. I believe it takes courage to tell someone the truth, that’s why i would appreciate any truthfull comments from anyone in order to make me a better musician. But critics are there to make you better, not confused. So please, think about what you’re gonna say to me, if you ever want to say anything, but if you have thought about it, than please tell me. If all you feel is love then tell me, if you have something truthfull even if you think i’d would be a pain in the ass to hear, then tell me… but if you’re just full of hate and jealousy and you just want to make my day bad, then don’t say a word…
I believe in love, peace, friendship, big hearts, and the straight path…
