It's more like a lifestyle rather than aiming for specific achievements.” After evaluating the music environment at the time, the perfectionist Rhydian felt he wasn't fully prepared, so he decided to keep that thought on hold. "Actually, music and acting are similar. Both require imagination to create scenes, and there's a structure to express inner feelings," he explained. Having honed his skills in theater for years, he had already mastered using his body as an instrument. Returning to his roots in music was simply adding another medium.
