​Muhammad Emil Salim Caniago,



Born in Padang Panjang (1986), West Sumatera, Indonesia.

I consider myself as a half-human, half-bedroom musician & occasionally as a free artist.

I realize and ultimately chose the creative industries to explore myself and learn how to create the better communication towards fellow human beings.
