Balinews Denpasar 30 Desember 2021 . Chatting with Sina and Bala's father at his residence in Tukad Petanu Denpasar was indeed very exciting. Here is our casual interview with the father of 2 little rock guitarists as follows:

My eldest son's name is DHANESVARA ABHIRAMA KRISHNA (SINA) 17 years old

His sister's name is DHANESVARA PRIYA BALAVATA (BALA) aged 11 years.

SINA started learning guitar since kindergarten when she was 5 years old. He has been interested in guitar since he was a child, where his toys are all guitar nuances. Starting from a toy plastic guitar. Also a junior guitar. And that he himself had a choice when I took him to the toy store. Because we are free to choose what he likes. Turns out he likes playing guitar.

 Ever since he was a baby he's been weird. Generally, babies who are turned on to classical instrument songs usually fall asleep. But he doesn't even want to sleep and moves a lot in the crib.😁

He even went to sleep after I turned on the classic rock tapes like iron maiden, halloween, metallica. In fact, he slept soundly. We happen to be rock music lovers.

First he studied. playing guitar from a guitar teacher at his house on jl. Tukad banyu sari. His name is Dewa Agung Perdana (Gung PP). After that, SINA studied guitar at the music school at a music teacher named kak michael officer, kak nanda, and kak dennis. At the time when he was being taught by kak dennis, BALA also started learning guitar, which was also taught by sis dennis. At that time, Bala was just a 5 year old kindergartener. At the same time there was also BALA learning piano which was taught by sis yudi and sis josefh.

  after kak dennis had to go to jakarta to record with ahmad abdul.SINA and BALA stopped learning guitar there because they didn't want to be replaced with other teachers. But BALA still takes piano lessons there.

 Then SINA and BALA studied guitar more deeply with uncle SAZLI (chalie) the guitarist for the PLUG N PLAY band at that time, who was introduced by DANAN JAYA who is also a plug n play vocalist.

 At that time, BALA was in the 1st grade of elementary school and SINA was in the 1st grade of junior high school. And it was also their jamming experience for the first time. At that time, BALA and SINA were given the opportunity to jam with PLUG N PLAY at Casablanca Sanur. Have also been invited to hard rock cafe bali, Laba-laba bar, kutabex

After 3 years of being taught guitar by om sazli, BALA and SINA had time to learn guitar from om theo, they continued to study a former child guitarist named kak gung harley (currently an instructor at debeat bali). After that, BALA and SINA studied guitar with uncle Piter (guitarist of the band of gods). Also at that time Uncle Piter often invited jamming to bars and cafes such as; crusoe's, coco bistro sanur. Then BALA and SINA studied with Gus Bas (currently Debeat Music Instructor).
