For almost 2 years of joining a community of jazz music in the city of Semarang , of course, I also have a group of bands that play jazz music flow . A band for me is where I put out my ideas in music , learning and knowledge while providing entertainment to public about jazz itself . Popularity is not something I look at in playing music , because I am a bit introvert, hahaha.. Rencang is the name of my band with Anto ( keyboardist ) , Chandra ( bassist) and Rio ( guitarist ) .

Maybe someday I will complete this "Intro", w hile waiting for me...
