For Jakarta-hailed rising star AFGAN, music has always been an equal synergy of far-flung global inspirations matched with a devotion to showcasing his heritage via nods to Indonesian pop. His slow-burning noughties R&amp;B sound simmers with alchemic elements from crackling neo-soul, nostalgic hip-hop and indie, seamlessly blended with his honeyed vocals, introspective lyricism and rolling beats.



The artist has stepped into the spotlight as one of Indonesia’s fastest rising stars, and is now making his foray onto a global platform as he teeters on the cusp of his first international album, out in 2021. Raised on soul legends Stevie Wonder, Whitney Houston and Brian McKnight, in his early years, self-taught Afgan – full name Afgansyah Reza – grew up a shy individual finding solace in music, slowly gaining confidence in quiet karaoke rooms. One day, in a lightning-strike of serendipity, an impromptu performance of John Legend’s “Ordinary People” – led to a label VP overhearing his performance and offering him a record contract on the spot.



His debut album, Confession No.1, dropped back in January 2008, with his follow-up coming a couple of years later with The One – and to date, the artist has five solo albums under his belt. Since then, the wunderkind has been honing his vocal prowess and sharpening his arsenal of instinctive songwriting, leading to the next chapter in his musical journey.

More commonly known as Dewa (and for a time, Down Beat), Dewa 19 was considered by some to be one of Indonesia&#8217;s biggest rock acts. Formed in 1986, the band would go through a number of lineup changes &#8212; and the occasional name change, due in part to the original inspiration for the band&#8217;s moniker being derived from the founder&#8217;s names &#8212; but they maintained their momentum and by 2008 had released a fair number of albums, nearly ten full-lengths, a pair of compilations, and some live work, and built a fanbase that was formidable, to say the least. 



Their first album, Dewa 19 (the 19 referring to the ages of the founding members at the time of naming the band), released in 1992, was a huge hit, winning the band Best Newcomers and Most Popular Album at the 1993 BASF Awards. While drummers came and went, along with some other roster changes, Dewa 19 pressed ever forward, releasing Format Masa Depan in 1994, and Terbaik Terbaik in 1997. 1999 would see Dewa 19 close out the decade with a hits compilation, The Best of Dewa 19. As the new century dawned, some new issues &#8212; including alleged drug abuse and copyright disagreements &#8212; popped up, but Dewa managed to overcome these hurdles, and in 2005 Dewa 19 released the live DVD Live in Japan, and a best-of DVD compilation. In 2007 the band issued its ninth studio album, Kerajaan Cinta.

But unfortunately, at that time she was only able to reach position 6 among many competing contestants. Lyodra&#8217;s singing talent was honed even more when she joined the Erwin Gutawa project called &#8220;Di Atas Rata-Rata” (“Above Average&#8221;). Her highest achievement was winning an international singing contest at the &#8220;2017 Sanremo Junior Festival&#8221; in Italy.

Oh Wonder are one of the UK’s best-kept secrets. What started with the relatively modest ambition of uploading a track month for a year quickly transformed the lives of Josephine and Anthony. Five years, 2 billion streams and more than a million record sales globally down the line – as well as a top 10 album back home, and sold-out shows including Brixton Academy and 300,000 global headline tickets &#8211; have led to where Oh Wonder find themselves in 2020: a truly modern-day success story, and one which, like the best of things, appears to have largely been a happy accident. The same, too, could be said of the friendship between Josephine and Anthony, whose magnetic intimacy on and off-stage has evolved (as many fans speculated) into a romantic relationship, with all the highs and lows that come from living, working and doing just about everything else with your partner.<a href=""></a>

Nicknamed after the attire he became known for wearing in recording studios, Pink Sweat$ is a singer and songwriter who favors sparsely arranged R&amp;B ballads consisting of little more than his voice and guitar. After writing material for other artists, he made his recorded debut in 2018 and has released projects like 2020&#8217;s The Prelude with the intent of creating a lasting emotional connection with listeners. Pink Sweat$&#8217; debut album, Pink Planet, arrived in early 2021.



 A native of Philadelphia, David Bowden was musically inclined as a youngster. He learned to play drums and sang regularly. Raised in a religious household, he didn&#8217;t get into secular music until his late teenage years, and eventually absorbed a wide breadth of genres. He got into the music industry as a demo vocalist and songwriter at Philly&#8217;s historic Sigma Sound Studios. With no desire to become a recording artist himself, Bowden co-wrote material for the likes of Rosie Bondz, Natalie Imani, Aaron Camper (including the 2016 single &#8220;Guns and Roses&#8221;), and Tierra Whack (such as the 2017 single &#8220;Child Please&#8221; and 2018&#8217;s &#8220;Pretty Ugly&#8221;).



 After surviving a severely debilitating three-year fight with a rare esophageal disorder, Bowden felt inspired to start keeping his songs to himself, and signed a digital distribution deal with Human Re Sources. He made his recorded debut as Pink Sweat$ in July 2018 with &#8220;Honesty&#8221; and &#8220;No Replacing You,&#8221; a pair of heartfelt, unvarnished ballads that sharply contrasted with commercial R&amp;B. Both songs appeared that November on Volume 1, his first EP. The similarly direct and brief Volume 2 arrived the following March. A steady stream of singles appeared over the next two years, including the 2020 ballad &#8220;17&#8221; and the bouncy &#8220;Ride with Me.&#8221; To satiate fans waiting for the release of his first full-length, Pink Sweat$ offered up The Prelude EP in July 2020, which featured select songs from the still-forming album. His debut, Pink Planet, finally saw release in February 2021 on Atlantic Records and reached number 133 on the Billboard 200. After joining HONNE on the track &#8220;What Would You Do?,&#8221; Pink Sweat$ returned later that year with his own follow-up single &#8220;I Feel Good.&#8221;

&#8220;I&#8217;m a singer who is in love forever with it. In it for the love of music, not for the glitter and gold&#8221; Born on June 6 1990, Raisa Andriana or more known as Raisa is an Indonesian female pop singer. Heavily influenced by many Pop / R&amp;B singers of the 90s such as Brian McKnight, India Arie, Stevie Wonder, etc, Raisa gained recognition after just launching her debut single ‘Serba Salah’ in 2010 and released her self-titled debut album that featured songs “Apalah (Arti Menunggu)”, “Could It Be” and “Terjebak Nostalgia”.

The album was also produced by Marco Steffiano. ‘Kali Kedua’ was released as the first and lead single. Nevertheless, the song quickly topped the music charts and received 7 AMI Awards 2016, including Best Pop Female Solo Artist, Best Pop Album, and Best of the Best Album among others. On November 21st 2020 Raisa announced she’s about to have a stadium level concert at Stadion Utama Gelora Bung Karno.

Shallou makes music for summer sunsets, winter wonderlands, and other contexts where sharpened senses meet heightened emotions in the glow of a profound, often wistful calm. Born Joe Boston in Washington D.C., Shallou grew up in Rockville, Maryland, studied in New Orleans, and moved to Chicago to focus on music before eventually resettling in LA. He released his EP, Souls, in 2018, with lullaby-grade chimes and breathy falsetto melodies. The overall mood is a delicate flavor of bittersweet, in which even the deepest melancholy gives delectable pleasure. He released his debut album, Magical Thinking, in 2020. On the record, Shallou sharpened his songwriting as he teamed up with singers like Zachary Knowles (&#8220;Mutual Love&#8221;) and Daya (&#8220;Older&#8221;) and stretched his sound into wide-screen pop on &#8220;Silhouettes,&#8221; featuring Vancouver Sleep Clinic. The same year, he teamed up with Petit Biscuit for &#8220;I Leave Again,&#8221; proving that even the most solitary feelings are best enjoyed in good company.

No matter how dark things get, Surf Mesa remains a dreamer. The 20-year-old songwriter and producer spent much of 2020 honing the escapist energy of the nostalgic electronic ballads he&#8217;s been working toward since he got a copy of FL Studio in third grade. The Seattle artist makes &#8220;music for good feels,&#8221; which made his music a breath of fresh air in a tough year. Both of his beloved 2020 singles &#8212; &#8220;ily (i love you baby)&#8221; featuring Emilee and &#8220;Somewhere&#8221; featuring Gus Dapperton &#8212; offer romance and refuge for tired minds, drenched in gossamer synth and fueled by insistent drums. And his latest, the delicate &#8220;Carried Away&#8221; with Madison Beer, continues in this windswept tradition, the sonic equivalent of staring into the sunset and imagining a better life more full of love. This placid mindset has clearly connected. &#8220;ily&#8221; was recently RIAA certified Platinum after almost 2 billion global streams and nearly 4 billion TikTok videos. The song hit #1 on Billboard&#8217;s Dance/Electronic chart and #2 on Top 40 radio, and &#8220;Somewhere&#8221; is right behind it, landing on Spotify&#8217;s hallowed New Music Friday out of the gate and garnering placements on dozens of playlists across platforms since. His whirlwind rise also earned him remixing duty on Marshmello and Halsey&#8217;s &#8220;Be Kind,&#8221; and Shawn Mendes&#8217; &#8220;Wonder&#8221; &#8212; both fitting titles for Surf&#8217;s heartwarming music to enter mainstream EDM and pop. By year&#8217;s end, &#8220;ily&#8221; placed on Spotify and Amazon&#8217;s top songs lists, setting him up for even bigger successes this year &#8212; VEVO has already named him a DSCVR Artist To Watch for 2021. And yet, after all this, he continues to make music at home alone, the same way he&#8217;s worked since he was a kid holed up in his room making beats between Counter-Strike matches. He has humble aims: to make catchy, chill pop music and give others a way to &#8220;feel better about their day.&#8221; Listening to Surf, it&#8217;s hard not to.
