To support the process and keep the momentum going, I’d love to offer MNC a new KIKO hit song (in Indonesian Bahasi) for use in your upcoming promotional content (trailers, social posts, etc.) on a whitelisted basis. The track is already registered with my pro and publisher etc , so you’d have no copyright issues using it on your channels — and I’d retain all streaming/publishing rights, of course. Listen to Track 1, 2 & 3

xpanded this partnership?
With my talent, track record, and deep connections in both the UK and US entertainment industries, I believe we could take MNC’s IP into a whole new dimension internationally:
-
A live musical (possibly West End or touring)
-
A UK/EU-produced TV special, concert film, or limited series
-
Viral music videos and short-form campaigns
-
Licensing/co-branded projects that retain MNC's IP while opening new markets
This wouldn’t replace your existing setup — it could run as a parallel franchise focused on the English-speaking world. I’d handle the creative development, funding, and partnerships here, while keeping you and your team commercially connected and credited.
I understand the hesitation in letting go of creative control — but we could structure this as a licensing-based collaboration, so you retain full rights and benefit from royalties and global visibility.
I’m not pitching one fixed project — just opening the door to a bigger conversation. I’m in a particularly creative phase right now, and the possibilities are wide open. If we explore something bold together — whatever form it takes — and do it right, it could bring real momentum, visibility, and revenue for both of us. Just want to plant that seed and say: keep your eyes on me, because I’m not slowing down anytime soon.
