Dream - Billy Adytya Kurniawan, a man born in Lumajang, East Java, is involved in the entertainment industry alongside his job as a journalist. Working at merdeka.com since 2019 has not deterred him from pursuing his passion in addition to his work in the media.

When interviewed by the Dream.co.id team, he shared that his interest in the entertainment industry began at a young age. He is involved in acting, singing, and being an MC.

Billy, who is 28 years old, immersed himself in acting while studying at the Yogyakarta School of Multimedia. Along with his friends, he was often chosen as a talent or actor in performances.

“When I was in college, many of my classmates were more interested in making me a talent in the entertainment industry than a journalist,” said Billy on Saturday, June 10, 2023.

Based on his acting skills, Bowie Waskito, his stage name, has collaborated with famous Indonesian actors such as Jefri Nicol, Reza Rusandy, and Wafi Zihan.

He has even acted alongside Briliana Alfira, who played Yu Ning in the series Tilik.

“I have worked with famous actors Jefri Nicol, Reza Rusandi, Wafi Zihan, and Briliana Alfira, who played Yu Ning in the series Tilik,” he said.

Not only that, as a graduate of the Production News Management program in 2019, he has collaborated with renowned director Hanung Bramantyo in the film Satria Dewa Gathotkaca. He played as one of Kurawa's henchmen.

“I have collaborated with Mas Hanung Bramantyo, the film that was shown in theaters titled Satria Dewa Gathotkaca. If you recognize it, I played as one of Kurawa's henchmen,” he said.

Meanwhile, he also has a new project related to film production. However, he is reluctant to reveal the project as he wants to surprise film enthusiasts.

“I already have a film project in the near future, but I don't want to reveal it yet,” he concluded with a wide smile.
