JAKARTA: Singer Sandhy Sondoro, best known for winning the 2009 International Contest for Young New Wave Pop Singers in Latvia, announced on Monday that he is in the process of releasing his latest album.
“There will be 12 songs on the album. The recording process will take less than two weeks. With mixing, mastering and other fine-tuning, I reckon the album will be ready in about a month,” said Sandhy.
Asked if he was worried about the rampant piracy in this country, Sandhy said there’s nothing much the music industry can do to stop it.
“What can we do? The piracy in Indonesia is so rampant. I can only count on my real fans where buying an original recording copy is concerned,” he said.
Sandhy explained that piracy is a global problem, faced by artists from both developing and developed countries, including the US.
“The sale of physical records hasn’t sustained a musical career for any artists for the past five to 10 years. As artists, we have to rely on off-air performances,” he said.
