Indonesian rapper Igor Saykoji says he has adapted his on-stage persona to his real life status as a father.

“I have three kids now and I no longer see the need to sell myself as a single rapper on stage. Being single is no longer my identity,” Igor said as quoted by kompas.com.

“Therefore, what I am putting in my work right now are themes that show my reality as a father,” he added.

For example, Igor created a playlist called “It’s a Dad Thing” on his official YouTube channel. In the playlist, Igor puts videos in which he and his eldest son, Aaron Miguel Penyami, create educational content.

“My son and I like to have a dialog in the form of rap about today’s important issues and I really like doing it,” Igor said.
