KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 8 — Ainna Erzanie Erwin put up a clip on TikTok recently to promote food that was being sold at her workplace, US Pizza.
To her surprise the clip of her singing Semata Kernamu by Indonesian singer Mario G Klau caught the attention of many users, who were impressed with her singing.
The video by the 20-year-old has garnered over 800,000 views at the time of writing.
The Penampang-born worker told mStar she flabbergasted by the outcome.
“I’ve been a full time worker at the pizza place for the last eight months. Coincidentally, our outlet was doing a promotion and my friends asked me to cover a song while doing the promotion.
“I was surprised when the video started to circulate on TikTok. I posted it during the night and went to bed and when I got up, the views had skyrocketed.
“I’ve also received comments from social media users, with some commenting on my voice while others were asking about the promotion,” she said.
Ainna added that since the video circulated, she also had customers visiting the restaurant to ask her to sing for them while they recorded it.

Ainna is no stranger to singing competitions as she has participated in many local competitions since the age of 10.
“If I’m not mistaken, I’ve competed in over 50 singing competitions. Alhamdulillah, I was crowned champion more than 10 times. I’ve also collected all the trophies at home,” she said.
She also said that it was her dream to be part of the local music industry and to one day have a duet with local songbird Datuk Seri Siti Nurhaliza as her mom was a huge fan.
Ainna's TikTok video which was shared last week has also garnered over 100,000 likes along with over 2,000 comments from social media users with many of them complementing her voice.
