Bio
Hi, my name is Kalonica and I've been playing drums since the age of 6 years old and have been self taught with the help from my
father, family and friends. I have a long history of performing at various charity events and concerts including "Child Aid Asia' in Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia and online
shows over my 10+ year musical journey. I've won several drum championship contests and have received sponsorships and prizes from the music industry. I have many musical talents
including playing piano, bass and guitar.
I live in Indonesia and attend high school in my senior year. When I'm not in school, church, assisting my family or helping my community playing for charity
concerts - Child Aid Asia in Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia and virtual events, I spent the rest of my time recording drum covers and creating music in the studio. I love creating music and sharing it with the world to bring happiness and joy. My passion and dream is to perform live on stages across the
globe. My goal after I graduate high school is to attend music college and become a professional musician.
On my YouTube channel I create videos of drum covers, original music, collaborations with my family and other talented
musicians on a regular basis. I receive very little income from YouTube due to copyrighted songs and rely on contributions (Patreon) and donations (PayPal) to continue my work
full-time and help support my family.
I need education, proper equipment and training to continue my music career which is very difficult to obtain and fund living in Indonesia. So far I've been
blessed to receive help along the way from many generous people, winning contests, receiving awards and sponsorships.
I have a Go Fund Me campaign to further my music education: https://gofund.me/b1b0d26f

Thank you and God Bless You Always,
