Anggerik recently achieved first place in "Talk To My Manager" season two, sparking discussions about her potential.

"But because Adira gave her the opportunity to be there, all her talents came out."

However, Stacy also cautioned that Anggerik's artistic journey is just beginning and requires continuous learning. "Since she is still young, people will expect more from her," Stacy said. "I hope she falls in love with music and gives her all to what she enjoys."

Since she is still young, people will expect more from her. I hope she falls in love with music and gives her all to what she enjoys.
