Upon returning on December 8, Yadiy received a celebratory welcome from his family, friends and fans.
Sharing his experience, Yadiy noted that participating in a big competition like D’Academy Asia 2 provided him the opportunity to gain more knowledge – especially on singing techniques and learning different styles of Dangdut songs.
Regarding his future plans, Yadiy said he will record an album in Indonesia after the competition ends.
