Being Bonang

People see you on television, and then – I think it’s a natural thing – now they also aspire to be like you, then also want to be on television. Is it about being on TV, what advice do you have for people, what should they aspire to?
You know, getting on television has changed.
When I say changed, I mean the process. Usually you get an agent, get an audition, land a show. What”s happened now is we live in a digital era.
So whether you want to start a music career – start a YouTube channel and put your music on there. You’re a TV presenter – start your own online visual blog. Modeling agencies – they’re now looking for people on the internet. So that has absolutely changed.
So what I want to say to people, is you make your own decisions. You need to start your career on your own – your success is your own responsibility. And luckily nowadays there are so many avenues to go about it, but the essence hasn’t changed.
Give yourself time, work really, really hard, and work on your ultimate goal, and the rest will be easy to figure out. Work hard, stay focused and give yourself time. It takes about four or five years to create an “overnight success”.
