About the Storyteller
Reda Gaudiamo
The first time she wrote a story was in first grade, stories that she read to Mak and Pak after dinnertime. After that, from elementary to high school, she only wrote for Indonesian Language class. She only began writing regularly in university, to earn some more pocket money, which she used to embark on an adventure around Europe.
It was like that with singing, too. Together with the late Ari Malibu, Reda formed a duo. They used their income to buy books and watch various show performances and movies. Now, her music can be discovered on Spotify under the name Reda Gaudiamo.
Since she is no longer working corporate jobs, writing and singing has become her main vocation, taking her to different places to meet so many more new friends.
Some of Reda's other books are Na Willa, Na Willa dan Rumah dalam Gang (Na Willa and the House in the Alley), and Potret Keluarga (Family Portrait). Alongside her daughter Soca Sobhita, they have co-authored two books: Aku, Meps, dan Beps and Kita, Kami, Kamu.
