Daiyan Trisha: I'm relaxed, let them do what they want

For over 13 years, Malaysian singer Daiyan Trisha has forged her path in the entertainment industry, often alone and facing early career setbacks. Starting as a "YouTube girl," her talent gained traction with the 2013 release of "Kerana Kau." Despite becoming a sought-after performer for television, soundtracks, and concerts, Trisha recalls a difficult period early on when she felt blacklisted by a television station.

“

I was banned early in my career. That was one of my lowest points as an artist. With that decision, they cut off my livelihood, as none of my work or songs were played on that station.

This ban, which lasted for three years, meant her music and work were not played on the station. "I was banned early in my career. That was one of my lowest points as an artist," she told Pancaindera. "With that decision, they cut off my livelihood, as none of my work or songs were played on that station."

Trisha also shared experiences of enduring public criticism, including accusations of not supporting Palestine. She learned to persevere, noting how quickly public opinion can shift from praise to condemnation. "This industry shows us that one moment we are praised, and the next, people can be cursing us," she said. Despite these challenges, she maintains a grounded perspective, avoiding feelings of superiority and using her experiences for self-reflection.

She believes popularity can be deceptive, leading to an attachment to false things. Therefore, celebrities need to constantly reflect and have people around them who keep them humble and realistic. "The income we receive is a sign for us to take care of those around us. Friends and family are important people," she stated, praying for their health and her continued ability to create.

When asked about becoming "Daiyan 2.0," Trisha expressed a desire to move beyond past disappointments with industry peers who she feels have been envious and imitative. She described individuals who allegedly stalk her, copy her style, and fail to offer support. "I have very high patience. Maybe someone disappoints me 10 times before I decide to do something," she explained, referring to both industry colleagues and others. "I don't understand why they stalk me, wear what I wear, even their homes are like mine. It's as if they are trying to copy my aesthetic and personality. Why is that? Why do you want to be Dai?"
