| Born in Jakarta (Indonesia) on January 16th, 1990. She started learning electone at the age 9 and finished
the 5th grade at Yamaha Musik Indonesia in 2008. Since the age of 10, she actively accompanied choir
and mass at Stella Maris Church Pluit. At age of 17 she began to feature the work of composed songs
featured in theatre performances of "Opera Negri Impian", and successfully won an Eucharist song
composing competition held by Orang Muda Katolik Keuskupan Agung Jakarta (Catholic Youth People
Archdiocese of Jakarta) in the following year.
Her interest in choir started in high school and she became an active member of Paduan Suara
Universitas Tarumanagara (Tarumanagara University Choir) since 2008 under the guidance of Angela
Astri Soemantri (until 2010) and won awards at regional, national and international levels such as IICC
(ITB International Choir Competition) in 2009, and Grand Prix Pattaya 2011, the 4th International Choir
Festival in Thailand under the guidance of Satriya Krisna.
She has received vocal training by Satriya Krisna and Budi Utomo Prabowo, and attended a vocal master
class by Prof. Ghislaine Morgan (UK), and a choir clinic by Mark Anthony Carpio (Philippines) and Prof.
Aurelio Porfiri (Italy). A student who majored in Accounting at Tarumanagara University, actually has no
significant degree in music – especially in arranging, composing, and choral music, so her works and
creations were just made based on her experience in music, in various ways.
Lately, she started to be trusted to arrange songs for choir, both pop and religious music for a variety of
purposes. In August 2011, she won the Marcella Marziali Composition Contest for children’s choir held by
Monarch Orcaellanum Luminare Choir, in cooperation with Prof. Aurelio Porfiri. That brought about the
song titled “The Star and You” to be published by Porfiri & Horvath Publisher, (publisher of international
choir music) based in Germany.
As a contributor to church music, she has now become a member of the association of Eucharist song
composer in Keuskupan Agung Jakarta (Archdiocese of Jakarta), who will publish a new hymnbook for
the Eucharist in 2012. |
