2016 – 2017: Dangdut Academy 4 Surabaya audition
While still a high school student in 2016, Happy was supported by her parents to audition for the fourth season of the popular dangdut singing talent search D'Academy at BK3S Tenggilis Mejoyo in Surabaya, the audition was held on November 7 2016 and was broadcast delayed by Indosiar on January 18, 2017. In the audition assessment round, Happy sang several lyrics from the song "Sayang" which was popularized by Via Vallen, Nassar Sungkar, Dewi Persik, and Iis Dahlia became the main panel of judges assessing her performance. At the end of the audition, Happy managed to get a golden ticket which was given directly by Dewi Persik as the main panel of judges. After the audition round was over, she was considered to have resigned and was also declared to have failed to advance to the next round. This happened because she did not answer the phone call from the organizers informing her that she had been selected to compete in Jakarta for fear of fraud.
