Guess what?: Isyana Sarasvati writes song on a whim

Kapanlagi.com

Anyone needing a love song in a hurry should contact rising songwriter-singer Isyana Sarasvati, who reportedly can pen an ode within minutes of receiving a request from a friend.

'€œMy friend was in a hurry as he wanted to confess his love to a woman and he was like: '€˜Write me a song, please'€™. I said yes and it was done in five minutes,'€ she said as reported by tribunnews.com on Wednesday.

The singer of '€œKeep Being You'€ and Tetap dalam Jiwa (Still in mind) graduated from the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts in Singapore and the Royal College of Music in the UK.

Isyana, who had a short career as an opera singer in Singapore, was nominated as both female singer of the year and breakthrough artist of the year at the 2015 Indonesia Choice Awards.

Isyana will release her first studio album later this year.

Her song, however, failed to win the heart of the subject of her friend'€™s affection.

'€œShe said no,'€ Isyana laughed.
