Career

2009, 2013–2016: Early career

In 2009, when Happy was between the ages of 8 and 10, she started her career by being selected as a model for a local children's magazine in East Java. As time went by, Happy's talent in singing began to show, she had been training her vocals since she was in junior high school. Happy began her musical career by appearing from stage to stage, starting from local festivals, filling weddings, to appearing as a sinden in wayang kulit events.

In 2013, Happy began signing a contract with a local record company and a few years later she began joining several dangdut orchestras at once in East Java. Happy released her debut single on January 1, 2014 with a live recording of the title track "Sayang 4". Throughout her career, Happy worked as a vocalist for an local indie band in Kediri, at the same time she was also a rocker singer with a punk fashion style.

2016–2017: Dangdut Academy 4 Surabaya audition

While still a high school student in 2016, Happy was supported by her parents to audition for the fourth season of the popular dangdut singing talent search D'Academy at BK3S Tenggilis Mejoyo in Surabaya, the audition was held on November 7 2016 and was broadcast delayed by Indosiar on January 18, 2017. In the audition assessment round, Happy sang several lyrics from the song "Sayang" which was popularized by Via Vallen—Nassar Sungkar, Dewi Persik, and Iis Dahlia became the main panel of judges assessing her performance. At the end of the audition, Happy managed to get a golden ticket which was given directly by Dewi Persik as the main panel of judges. After the audition round was over, Happy was considered to have resigned and was also declared to have failed to advance to the next round. This happened because she did not answer the phone call from the organizers informing her that she had been selected to compete in Jakarta for fear of fraud.
