Background

[edit]

Raisa Andriana was born on 6 June 1990, in Jakarta, Indonesia, to Allan Nur Ihsan Rachman and Ria Mariaty. She studied at Binus University.[1] Raisa's singing talent has been shown since an early age. When she was 3, Raisa often pretended to be a singer on stage.[1] Growing up with minimal music education, she picked up her unique singing style and voice from some of her favorite singers, such as Brian Mcknight, India Arie, Stevie Wonder, Joss Stone, etc.[6][7]

Career

[edit]

2008–2010: Career beginning and "Andante"

[edit]

Her career as a singer began when she collaborated with famous composer David Foster to perform in a concert in Jakarta.[1] She was the vocalist of Andante, a band founded by Kevin Aprilio. In 2008 the band was reshaped and named Vierra, consisting of five members: Raisa, Widi Soediro, Raka Cyril, Satrianda Widjanarko, and Kevin Aprilio himself. She exited the band when the record's label decided it wanted a different concept.[8]

2010–2013: Early success with debut album

[edit]

Raisa started gaining recognition with her single "Serba Salah". The song led her to gain popularity in the Indonesian music industry.[1] She then won an award in the Indonesian Music Awards for Best of the Best Newcomer category.[9]

Her debut album, Raisa, was produced and released in 2011 by Solid Records and Universal Music Indonesia. The album was supported by the young musicians who collaborated as producers: Asta Andoko (RAN), Ramadhan Handy (Soulvibe), and Adrianto Ario Seto (Soulvibe). Nanda Oka and Asta Andoko are Executive Producers of Solid Records.[1][10]
