The name Jamie Aditya is certainly familiar to many people, especially teenagers in the 90s who always watch music shows.
Jamie Aditya is a famous MTV Asia and MTV Indonesia VJ in the 1990s. The owner’s real name, James Adityawarman Graham, was born on March 10, 1970.
He is the son of Ati Ashyawati and Stuart Graham, an Australian citizen.
Jamie is well-known in the country’s music entertainment industry with a varied career such as being a host, actor and musician.
However, in 2001, Jamie Aditya quit his career as a VJ and moved to Australia to be with his sick mother.
However, Jamie’s life in Australia did not go smoothly. He worked as a construction worker for 2.5 years.
“For 2.5 years I worked as a construction worker, working 8 to 10 hours. Lifting iron, cutting iron,” said Jamie.
The moment Jamie Aditya worked as a construction worker occurred when COVID-19 hit the world.
“At that time, it was actually during Covid, Melbourne was in lockdown, for 2 years, we couldn’t go more than 3 kilometers from home,” he explained.
Even though the Australian government provided quite large compensation funds for its citizens during the lockdown, Jamie Aditya felt that as a man he had to work.
“We get money from the government of around $750 every 2 weeks. But I have two teenage children. They see their father every morning just sitting on the sofa playing guitar wearing a drawstring. So I have to set a good example for the children,” he concluded.
